Warning about checking ATF on WRX's
The owners manual recommends checking the automatic transmission fluid level after you've been driving the vehicle for a while. well, after about a 15 minute commute, I get home, let the car sit for about a half hour, and figure i ought to check the level. I'd added some yesterday and wanted to make sure it was the right ammount. DO NOT CHECK IF THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN RECENTLY. check the level on the cold scale after the car has sit for a few hours.
whoever placed the ATF dipstick below the intercooler and that close to the engine needs to be shot in the head. I burned my arm so ****ing bad that the outer couple layers of skin literally melted. it happened so fast, I didn't even feel it till after i pulled my arm out.
