What brand and type of ATF do you use? I have noticed some hard shifts between gears when the tranny is cold, but runs perfect when warmed up. I changed the filter on the side already. Fluid seems a little brown but no burnt smell. I asked the guy at AutoZone and he looked puzzled and told me "this should work". There's no manual with the car and I'm not seeing any Dextron III anywhere and I'm not paying $9 a quart from the subaru dealer.
Thanks for your input!
