Trans and Diff fluid change feedback

[Freedom]

So I changed out the fluids for both transmission and LSD. The only unknown that I had was the part numbers for the fill/drain plug gaskets for the transmission and LSD. Interestingly, Subaru told me that they have yet to service a transmission and LSD on a car , so I had to go to Toyota to order the parts.

I ended up reusing the gaskets for the transmission as they still looked new and undamaged, and the gaskets I got from Toyota only matched up for the LSD. The transmission gaskets look solid and don't crush when tightened.

So this is the gasket you can use for the drain and fill plugs for the LSD, these actually crush when tightened:



The magnets on the plugs had a lot of metal bits!

After the fluids were changed I went for a small drive. There was a remarkable change in the feel when changing gears. My car's cold gear changes were "notchy" and used to grind from 3rd to 2nd when cold, now everything feels nice and smooth. The whole process took me about 1.5 hours.

If anyone knows what the part number is for the transmission plug gaskets, please let us know.

**EDIT: After taking the car out the next day the gear from 3rd to 2nd was still notchy
