"Remanufactured for Subaru?"

I just did this last night and thought to add a couple of more things that may help out others.

It's a good idea to clean the debris off of the top of the tranny pan housing, looking downward from inside the car. This will help keep the crud from falling through the holes for the pan bolts. Also, don't use pneumatic tools for removing or tightening of these bolts as they require very little torque to strip. In case you strip the soft alum housing threads, you'll need M6x1.00 tap to chase the holes. I had to do this on one of the holes last night. Be sure to use some antiseize on the bolt threads to make the job easier the next time. I measured about six quarts of ATF drained out over a period of two hours. Just some FYI.

Question:

I found a small ID plate that was attached to one of the tranny pan bolts that said "Remanufactured for Subaru using original parts". Does this mean that the previous owner had the tranny replaced? Sorry for the dumb question!
