Harvey, I asked on the Imprezza forum and never got an answer, but I have a Subaru transmission overhaul manaual put out by the Automatic Transmission Service Guide folks (what Level 10 and others sell for around $20), and it specifies two (2) turns, not three. I've been running mine (out of a 1998 Imprezza) at 2 turns for a couple of months now with pretty much flawless performance (fingers now crossed). The transaxle came out of a car with only 29K miles when wrecked. It was almost perfectly spot on at two turns when I checked it out on the garage floor before installation.
Maybe someone with Subaru service connections could find out why the SVX specs three, but ATSG says 2 for the Legacy & Imprezza (they don't address the SVX one way or the other so I can't speak to that).

I checked my 4.44 Outback replacement trans waiting to go in the car. I marked the bolt before checking, exactly two turns out.
I checked the stock trans that came out and the band bolt was exactly three turns out. This trans was rebuilt by a private shop 20,000 miles ago because of a diff failure. Well, the diff failed again.
Does anyone have a SVX reman trans to check?
