Thanks Andrew. I'll check out that site.

I might try that PF Automotive place too - my problem was that we looked at the car on New Years Day, so everything was closed. It'll probably be closed Friday as well :( But we'll see :)

Cheers

204636 2004-01-01 18:08:00 I'd say you will be very lucky to find one. I have searched for one for a Honda Prelude and can't find one. I do have one, but I don't know anyone who can read Japanese. The joys of owning a Jap import !!

204638 2004-01-01 19:45:00 Cheers JM :) I might end up going and looking there, but I was hoping to not be seen anywhere around there for the next week or so ;)

204639 2004-01-01 20:28:00 I have a manual for my 1987 subaru leone (not 4wd). It does show manual gearboxes as well. It states that to top up gearbox it should be thru the gearbox dipstick. I have a pic but cant remember the upload site. Can someone post it here and I can upload. sam m (517)
204640 2004-01-01 22:34:00 Have a look at this (sal.neoburn.net)

This is from my owner manual for 1987 Leone, could be the same.

204641 2004-01-02 04:21:00 Hi BE CARFULL most 4wd Subaru have a dipstick for the gear box & filling them you have to pore oil down the dipstick tube, the frount diff also has a dipstick so make sure the right oil goes in the right hole. the 3 smaller boltes you spoke about DO NOT REMOVE as behind them are the detent springs & balls, be verry carfull what bolt you remove as you may have to dismantle the gear box as they hold & aligne things in side. I recomend if you don,t touch if you don,t know. $50 to have someone change the oil is cheaper than $1000-$5000 to have it overhalled Stick (204)

Thanks for that Sam - I'm printing it off now :D

Not at the same time though... so there were always 2 attached at once. I'm hoping that whatever they hold is one unit held by all three - that way hopefully it's still attached :)
