issue with 2005 Subaru Baja transmission

Did you put engine oil in your transmission? If so you should get a transmission flush.

Thanks for your response, but I did not put engine oil into the transmission. I put transmission fluid into what I thought was the transmission dipstick tube. Turns out (despite no where did I ever see that there is actually a differential dipstick and tube) I put the transmission fluid into that!!! Turns out, Subaru did a good job of hiding the transmission fluid dipstick (and mine was completely covered in schmutz). I called a local transmission place and they actually talked me through where to look, I found it, put the fluid into the right fill tube, and wallah, the trans works. Now I have to drain the differential!!! I'm going to stick to just washing the car from now on and let the experts do the work. And yes, all you car gurus can call me a dipstick!!!!
