@bridgingburnout: Would’ve fixed it myself, but I didn’t have a transmission fluid pump and couldn’t get it to go up on my ramps again. Third time doing the oil change and somehow had a smooth brain slip.

it's a common occurrence on subarus. I'm pretty sure every lube tech has done it once. they messed up when they made the Trans pan and oil pan the same size drain bolt

Some cars have splash shields you gotta take off to even get to the transmission

You can tell its the transmission drain plug because its on the transmission and not the engine

Respect for giving it a go. For future reference tho a hand pump and atf fluid are pretty cheap

I’m gonna be honest, it really is on Subaru for tucking the real plug up in a skid plate and leaving the transmission one exposed + the same size / shape as the oil plug. Plus the spin on filter right above it. 😭

Psa not all transmissions have a fill like the engines and you need to undo the fill plug on the side of the trans and fill it until it starts to spill out. (I’m autistic mechanic have a good day)

I literally did the exact same thing with my Subaru 6 months ago. Doubled down and tried to fix it my self. I had to get my transmission worked on about a month ago.
