Front differential fluid help
Need some help and thought I'd see if a few of the well knowledged Subie owner here could help.
What is the recommended front differential fluid for an 03 Subaru WRX?
Four days ago, I got my tranny serviced at Jiffy Lube. Several things have me very concerned since then.
First was the lady working in the front that opened the door and yelled into the shop "Just do it" in a very scary demanding voice. Followed by...
Four mechanics standing over my car staring at the turbo with a perplexed look on thier faces. (At this point I went out into the shop asking whats wrong). Standing over them the remainder of the time till they completed the filling of the tranny. Whick leads to my third concern.
I've only driven the car a couple of times for maybe ten miles total since. Both times I've had a little smoke come from the hood while stopped and the dreaded burning oil smell. I've traced this to fluid being spilt on the turbo. What really concerns me is its harder to engage reverse and first while stopped. While driving I now have to practically use force to get it into first while moving. Much harder to shift into first while rolling now. Even shifting between 2-5th does'nt seam as smooth as before the defferential service. Feels "clunky" I guess you could say.
I bought the car used and don't have an owners manual. Can anyone help me with what fluid is recommended for the tranny, so I can go back up to Jiffy Lube and find out what they put in.
I've checked the tranny and oil levels three out of the last four days since the maint. and they seem fine. Also not a single drop of fresh fluid in the garage. The rougher shifting is what really concerns me.
Certainly open for suggestions.
