You have to ask them to come with you on a test drive. Have it running and park next to a building wall and the sound will echo off the building and be obvious to the tech or service rep.

I picked the car up, drove around a little bit and brought it back and parked in the service drop-off garage. He couldn't deny hearing it then. (They drove it 3.2 miles after I dropped it off)

But of course he spewed more BS about toyota not having a fix or new parts for it. He said he could put me on the list to talk to the toyota rep but "he only comes to the dealer once a month". Sounds like a bunch of bull to me.

Are the listed TSB #s for the BRZ only suitable for the USA? Are they applicable for Canadian BRZs and the Canadian Subaru dealers or will Subaru Canada have different TSB #s. I phoned my dealer and asked about some of the issues and TSBs. I asked about the manual transmission cold shifting issues and the odd gear grind into 2nd. The service person I talked to acted like he never heard of any of the issues.
Reminds me of my dealings with Hyundai dealers regarding my Genesis Coupe's manual transmission issues and the USA TSB for it that the Canadian dealers tried to pretend didn't exist.
Many thanks to all involved who post all the TSB #'s for the BRZ and FRS. This forum is a great source of info.

I was supposed to meet with the factory rep today about the chirping and an hour before I get a call from the dealer. they said they ordered the parts because the factory rep knows about the issue. should be a few days for them to come in.
I'm hoping Rev2 fixes the issues.

Did you ever get that fixed? I actually just dropped off my BRZ to Subaru in Livermore, CA and the guy said that the foreman said the chirping noise is normal and that since it wasn't ABNORMAL, there's no need to change out the fuel pump, etc.

Also, anyone have any clunky shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear? I researched the forums and stuff but can't figure out what to do. It's rough shifting into 3rd unless I pause for a second before shifting.

Bought the car in January this year and have been so frustrated with the chirping, shifting, "rough idle" issues.. not a way to enjoy a new car.

I've got the chirp and the weird dippy idle when the A/C is on. I'm calling the dealer tomorrow to try and see if they can do anything yet.

I have a slight idle dip with the A/C on and it's rather minor. My shifts (Manual Trans) clunks between shifts in low gears sometimes.

The clunky shifts are more of an issue. Would be nice if there were an adjustment that could be made.

Hey Jertronic,
Im sure I have read on a couple of posts in the Assie forums about the same issue and im pretty sure they adjusted a rod in the clutch system to give the clutch a bit more clearance when disengaged, I believe it helps? worth a look at..

Will get this fixed soon, but letting others know it is not limited to those affect VIN ranges.

No different tsbs and it takes longer for us to get them than the states for some reason, says my dealer.

Is there a tsb for the shifting into 2nd? Mine absolutely hates 2nd gear....
