BRZ/FRS automatic owners ... Strange noise
I have had my BRZ for the last 5 months and will soon be reaching 500 miles (i know, but it is just a toy car for me.). I recently began hearing this strange clunk/clicking sound when you step on the brake coming from area of the auto shifter. It doesn't seem to have any deleterious effects on performance. I have searched and found one topic regarding this noise. Have any of the other automatic owners experienced this sound? It is more of annoyance than anything else at this point but i dont feel like bringing it in to a dealer just for them to mess things up. If you have had the problem, any chance it was fixed by the dealer or even worse, did something bad hapen.

I don't recall hearing it.
Maybe it's the sharp intake of breath the planet makes while it cries because you drive it so little. |

Thanks for the sarcasm but as i said, i have other cars.One other user on the forums posted a topic about 3 months ago, so i assume, he didn't have that many miles at the time too. he said it was a reverse lock out peice mechanism when he took the boot down.

Hi There, I have a AT/FRS and I just got my car a week ago and I hear the same noise from the break. Clicking sound when breaking to stop and it comes from the gear. If you put your hand on the gear you feel it. I am heading to the dealer next week for the first service and I will report it.

some noises are normal, some arent and are a hint that a part is going to fail in this case, it is a normal sound from a properly functioning part and every (AT) FRS/BRZ/GT86 does it nothing to worry about guys!
