Gearbox disptick
Has anyone found a good way to check oil/top up the gearbox oil on a wrx with a sti top mount?
The dipstick is hard to reach, and a sod to put back. It takes so long to get the dipstick in and out im not 100% confident of the reading. I did an oil change at the wknd and Ive put 3.5~litres back in, so it should be ok,just like to be 100% |
Haven't tried on my new age yet, but on the classic you could get easy access with the intercooler off.

i have used this on my classic and never had any problems.

Checked mine the other week. Intercooler off I'm afraid :(
|
Yeah thats what i ended up doing at the wknd, hoped there was an easier/quicker way.

It can be done, I find it easy enough to get it out for the level check but a pain to get back in. I usually use my left hand to find the hole and guide the dipstick in with my right (that sounds wrong!). It usually results in a couple of grazed knuckles and a sore back after though:)

never had any issues on my hawk sti getting the gearbox dipstick in & out?
on the hatch sti its a bigger problem....they dont come with one :( |
