Default 2 questions for blob wrx?

Morning!

First question, where do you refill the gearbox oil on a wrx new age 5 speed? I've drained it but can't see anywhere obvious to refill it?

Second question, I've just refitted the engine and fitted my new clutch slave cylinder but got no spring back on the clutch......what do I need to do next?

Thanks to either question!

gearbox is refilled through the dipstick hole, did you bleed the clutch fluid?

Ok thanks! Any rough guess of how much it should take so I'm not checking the dipstick after 1/2 a litre?

And I need to do I again because the 'one man bleeding tool' I bought was crap lol

It currently feels firm going down and springs back when you pull it back but doesn't come back up at all on its own.....sound about right for air in the system?

Thanks! You seem to be helping me build my car back up at the moment Tom lol!

check on the net about the oil capacity as i have an sti and i know that holds more.

sounds like it needs bleeding properly but hard to say, id bleed it first though and try it again.

3.8 litres according to the net, thanks!

I will bleed it first and see what happens......it's pain doing it on your own s you can't see what's happening at the other end.....attests I've got my mate over this evening to help (knows nothing about cars but is capable of pushing the pedal )
