Can't find trans dipstick. 2012 2.5l w/ 6 speed auto.
Hi
I recently got this 2012 Legacy Outback with the 2.5l and a 6 speed auto. I cannot find dipsticks for the front diff or the trans. I know where they were in my 1997 Legacy Outback but can't find any on this one. I looked in the manual for this year and car and it says that there are dipsticks for both. I am puzzled. I cannot find references online that tell me either. The trans itself looks to be hidden by the firewall with only the front diff showing. If it is sealed can anyone tell me where to find a diagram or picture showing the filler location and procedure? This will be my fourth Legacy Outback Wagon and things sure have changed! |

CVT - no dipsticks and has 6 forward "gears" listed
5AT specifies 5 speed Automatic Transmission. I'm not sure whether these will help or not http://clarkdh.net23.net/NTL/Legacy%20AT1.PNG http://clarkdh.net23.net/NTL/Legacy%20AT2.PNG |

We bought this car used several months ago and the description in the window said Automatic Trans. I assumed that this was right since it shifted just like an automatic trans. The tool that you gave me (many thanks) tells me it is a Full-time AWD LineartronicTM! That might just be bad news because of the problems others have had but it does tell me why it bumps, surges and jerks at low speed especially when cold. I was thinking I had a sticky center diff. I guess I need to research this one. At least I know that the Fluid is checked from underneath. I will go back and read the manual for the CVT now. Thanks for the help!

I hope you've downloaded the manuals for future reference :) good luck.

A number of manufacturers make their CVT's "shift" to make them appear like a normal Auto transmission.
this vid has a good explanation of it. |
