transmision fluid change

i have heard that in automatic that u cant just drain the fluid out u have to drop the pan and theres no sense in doing that unless ur going to change the filters. i have a manual transmision. Is it the same thing ? or can i just drain it and put in new fluid. Also what fluid should i use

Just drain it and put in new fluid.

It should take about 5 quarts.

Get the fluid from your local subaru dealership.

For a manual transmission, it usually takes around 3 to 3 1/3 quarts.

You just drain it from the drain bolt, and fill it from the transmission dipstick hole.

You can use Subaru Extra S gear oil or 75W-90 gear oil would work as well.
