It is partially hidden by a bundle of wires on the passenger side. Easy once you locate it.

Have yet to see a dip stick for a manuel transmission. They normally have two plugs on the side of trans. One lower and one upper. The lower is for draining, and the upper for adding/checking fluid level. Due to the fact that you must get under car to check, yet still have on level ground to get accurate reading, would sugest you take to your normall sevice provider to have this done.

SOURCE: 95 Subaru legacy wagon manual transmission fluid

The dipstick has a black plastic handle in the shape of ring of about 1 inch in diameter. It is located on the left side of the engine (looking from front) behind the spark plugs. Best visible from the passenger side fender location (start looking from the left part of the transmission , the black handle clearly stands out on the white metal).

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to Model Category.

For strangeness like that you need the dealership. I would normally suggest a transmission specialist, but they will likely tell you that you need a new transmission.

I changed my oil last night with my boy friend who does frequent oil changes. Afterwords, my transmission started shifting extremely hard and late. Please help. I do not believe he drained the tranny...

e: subaru legacy transmission dipstick Transmission dip stick is behind the engine in front of driver side firewall. Move a few hoses out of the way, look down and you'll see it has a yellow top.
Other side (passenger) lower down yet, again move a few hoses aside, yellow top handle, you'll find the shorter differential dip stick.
In either case, if your gaze reaches the ground, you've gone too far.

I did an oil change on my subaru legacy 2000 and now it's starts but once it's in reverse or drive it wont [email protected]

I would bet you drained the transmission oil and not the engine oil. It is a pretty common mistake.

How much oil did you add when you where done. is the oil level on the oil dipstick now reading overfilled? Is there any fluid on the transmission dipstick?

I’m happy to assist further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/jeremy_d728a59f986299fa
