(2) Remove the clamp, and disconnect the
evaporation hose from the pipe.
CAUTION:
•Collect fuel from the hose into container.
•Disconnect the hose with its end wrapped
with cloth to prevent fuel from splashing.
30) Support the engine with a lifting device and
wire ropes.
31) Support the transmission with a garage jack.
CAUTION:
Doing this is very important because the trans-
mission lowers for its own weight. This work is
also of great importance for facilitating reinstal-
lation.
CAUTION:
Before removing the engine away from trans-
mission, check to be sure no work has been
overlooked.
32) Separation of engine and transmission:
(1) Remove the starter. REMOVAL, Starter.>

A: INSPECTION
CAUTION:
The level of ATF varies with fluid temperature.
Pay attention to the fluid temperature when
checking ATF level.
1) Raise the ATF temperature by driving a distance
of 5 to 10 km (3 to 6 miles). Otherwise, idle the en-
gine to raise ATF temperature to 70 — 80°C (158
— 176°F) on Subaru Select Monitor. 5AT(diag)-15, READ CURRENT DATA, OPERA-
TION, Subaru Select Monitor.>
2) Make sure the vehicle is level.
3) After selecting all positions (P, R, N, D), shift the
select lever in “P” range. Measure the ATF level
with engine idling for one or two minutes.
4) Make sure that ATF level is above the center of
upper and lower marks at “HOT” side.
5) If the ATF level is below the center between up-
per and lower marks, add the recommended ATF
until the fluid level is found above the center be-
tween upper and lower marks.
CAUTION:
•Use care not to exceed the upper limit level.
•Adding ATF to the upper limit mark on “HOT”
side when the ATF temperature is below 70°C
(158°F) will overfilling of ATF, causing a trans-
mission failure.
6) Check ATF level after raising ATF temperature
to 70 — 80°C (158 — 176°F) by running the vehicle
or by idling the engine again.
7) Check the ATF for leaks.
Check for leaks in the transmission. If there are
leaks, it is necessary to repair or replace gasket, oil
seals, plugs or other parts.
B: REPLACEMENT
1. AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID
1) Drain the ATF by removing drain plug.
NOTE:
Before starting work, cool off the ATF well.
2) Replace the gasket with new one, and then tight-
en the drain plug to specified torque.
Tightening torque:
20 N·m (2.0 kgf-m, 4.5 ft-lb)
3) Pour in the ATF using the oil charge pipe.
Recommended ATF:
Refer to “RM” section. RECOMMENDED MATERIALS, Recommend-
ed Materials.>
Capacity:
Fill the same amount of ATF when drained.
4) Check the ATF level. TION, Automatic Transmission Fluid.>
