I finally looked at it and yes it is the tranny dipstick on the driver side and it is labled atf. Is the fluid supposed to be clear or slightly yellow?:shrug:
Shifts fine and no weird smell.
I'm just used to red fluids.
Eta: I changed the front and rear diff fluid and it was the usual stinky gear oil smell.
I know I didn't do the wrong fluids. Oil is oil and gear lube is gear lube. Didn't touch the tranny drain plug.
No red fluids when I did my work.
Also to add the transmission fluid was pretty clean like fresh oil.

Yellow is normal. That is also what my sister's 97 impreza has in its auto tranny. Most likely with the 4EAT, as long as there is liquid in there, it doesn't matter. The 4EAT is no where near as finicky as the 5MT, so I would say brand isn't too important.
