Is it a clunking, or more like a crunchiness, like worn synchros?

Its a clunk it shakes the car when i shift into first Say if im sitting at the lights about to go

Try keep the clutch in, wait for 3 secs, and then put it in 1st gear. If you don't get the noise that way, then I believe it's normal. My other MT did this also.

mine does it to. my mustang has been doing it for the passed 100000 miles and nothings broke yet

My clutch does that.

Also, today, when I tried to switch from 2nd to 3rd gear at around 4k RPM, I grinded for some reason. Hmmm. I've never grinded while upshifting.

I think its normal, I just posted a Thread about my transmission making sounds a couple days ago. Apparently I think its normal. My trans. makes a clunk like sound too. Im guessing its the way they built it... and I've just had my car for 6 days so far. I found out on mine, when taking off from a dead stop at 1st gear, it will shake if you let go of the clutch and not accelerating while around 1500rpm or lower...

probably a combination of the transmission not fully warmed up and moving the shifter before fully pressing the clutch pedal in. if you ever feel a slight grind, pop it back to neutral, let go of the clutch pedal, and try again. don't force it in gear.

Well, its not a loud grind. Its just a grind that you feel on the gear shifter. It didnt make any noise or anything. You can just feel some force on the shifter then it goes in gear. Its like a millisecond.

Currently my BRZ has around 750 miles. But today I went to like 6k RPM :( I couldnt resist! I needed some taste.

Need to drive more to break it in lol.

But I think its already broken in.

i wouldn't worry about hitting 6k rpm once in a while. this isn't 1960s anymore. it's pretty hard to destroy modern engines.

the shifter doesn't feel as smooth when the transmission hasn't warmed up yet. shift below 3k rpm until your engine/tranny has warmed up. i get the same feeling on mine.

At least im not the only one hearing it seems like it only does it when im sitting at the lights in neutral then i throw it into first. I called the dealership yest becuz my car cldnt start it was locked up n he said he never heard of any issues w the car...yea right lol

Yup this is how i shift does seem a lot smoother plus im scared to take it over 3 rpm until it breaks in im babying it lol

you can go up to 4k rpm for break in period according to the manual.
under 'emergency situations' above that

I guess i need to pull out the manual n read it huh lol

it's good to know, there isn't anything in particular that is special to this car from my perspective - its like any other car ..
but there are some funny lines in it .. ie. do not use jack to jack car :]

You need to fully compress the clutch, then just let it fall into first, like take your time after you depress the clutch then put it into first. I've noticed that if I clutch, then wait a second or two, it will just gracefully fall into first. If I clutch then try to ram it into first it clunks pretty bad.

I guess I had a lot of "emergency situations" while I was breaking mine in :bonk:

There we're indeed a lot of life threatening situations my friend :party0030:

I'm in the same boat, I'm not too worried. I used to drive an STi and it did the same things, must just be Subarus!

Yea i guess i wont worry i figured its cause its a new car n all. So ur not suppose to drive for long periods of time w new car? Ive been driving around everywhere showing everyone my car :D n i have a ways to work not much i can do there. All i can say is i love this car!!!!

9 years gone by
 

Is it too late to respond? lol My 2017 clunks when I fully depress the clutch at a stand still in neutral before I shift in to first gear. 65,000 miles car.

Wait for the friction disc along with all the gears to quit spinning before engaging one of them. That's all.
