How much would it cost to change from an automatic transmission to a manual for a 1997 Subaru Forester?
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

How do you change transmission lubricant in 2001 Subaru Forestor?
You didn't specify automatic or manual transmission Forester. I can only answer for the automatic. Drain plug is on the left (driver's side) of the transmission. You will need about 4, maybe 5 quarts of Dexron for refill. This is for a maintenance oil change, not if you are trying to cure some problem since you cannot drain the torque converter in this way. Yearly performance of this service is recommended. Since you are asking in this forum, it may be best to take your Forester to a professional to perform this service. --Ken

How do you change the automatic transmission fluid in your 1994 Subaru legacy?
You listed this question under Subaru Forester, but the answer is likely the same. Subaru is good enough to put a drain plug on the transmission so it is the same procedure as changing engine oil, except you use the transmission dipstick hole to refill. This does not change the fluid in the torque converter though, which probably holds almost half of the transmission fluid. If this is the first time you have changed fluid in this 16 year old car you may want to take it to a professional where they can flush the transmission. I always recommend yearly changes to prevent having to flush the converter.If you have the knowledge to assess the condition of the fluid that you drain, you may just want to change the fluid, drive it for a week or two, change again, drive, and change again until no more nasty stuff comes out. My assumption is that most people don't think of their transmission fluid until something goes wrong, especially on an older car.
