When the vehicle gets older, like your and my 2000 Foresters, it is much more important to change the fluid than the filter. Never changed the filter in my '96 Outback in the 210,000 miles I owned it. I changed the spin-on filter in my Forester when I first got it because the fluid showed signs of being overheated. If you want your transmission to last a long time be sure to change the fluid at least once a year. Just remove what comes out when you open the drain plug on the bottom of the transmission and replace with fresh Dexron. Should be about 4 quarts.

You don't "set" a timing belt. There is no adjustment, either it's right or it's not. You change a timing belt at whatever interval Subaru recommends for your Forester. --Ken
Just like changing engine oil only in a different location and with different oil.

There is no speedometer cable to change. Subaru, like all modern cars, has an electronic speedometer. --Ken
Not to be unkind - but READ THE MANUAL.
Replace the bulb, had to change one myselfe.
Remove the plastic shield marked: "oil filter and oil drain" on the splash guard under the motor.Easy to reach easy to change.
The only person to ask is the one who agrees to take on the job. The best choice, by far, is to sell your 1997 automatic transmission Forester and buy one with a manual transmission. Or you could even scrap the one you have and buy the one that has the equipment that you prefer. In my opinion you will still spend less money. -- Ken
