Having Same Issue with my 2014 Scion FRS
Recently bought a 2014 Scion FRS last Nov 2013.
I am experiencing the same issue as the rest of the folks here.
Some observations:
- It comes out audible for shifting to a higher gear than downshifting
- The sound is distinctly separate from the engine (rev) sound; more like a layer on its own.
- There seem to be a "precursor" sound that runs parallel/overlay to the engine rev sound when you are stepping on the gas/accelerator pedal. When you hear this "precursor" sound, you will definitely hear the humming noise when you push the clutch pedal in to shift.
- I have had a mechanic at the Toyota dealer here in Roseville test drive the car with me, and he says the sound is "nothing abnormal".
(Though if its a "normal" sound, why is it occurring intermittently? About 60-65% of the shifts ends up silent, 35-40% of the time this noise pops up. Normal is the "silent" shift.)
I am requesting for any updated info or suggestions as how to address this. Any of the BRZ folks having this issue as well? Any help in the right direction is highly appreciated!!!
