Does this happen all the time or only when you first start driving and the car is cold?

It can occur at any time, even after 30 minutes or so of driving. All I need to do is fully stop, then apply ~3/4 -WOT while treating the clutch pedal like normal, and it occurs, every time.

75%-100% is a lot of damn throttle to be taking off from a stop unless maybe you're at the drag strip.

Is a 1/3 of a second too short?

It depends on what speed your input shaft, output shaft, and car inertia/forces at work on the bushings & drivetrain. The exact aggregate forces are many and not easily quantifiable to "okay.. when the car is going 'x' speed, I should input 'x' action".. it's much more subtle.
Here's a hint, if you're staring at the RPM section, don't. Just try and feel the car out for a couple weeks. My WRX has an STI gauge that I bought 4-5 years ago on Ebay with a broken tach. I modded it to black that tachometer out, and those 4 years of driving improved my manual skills more than the previous 5-6 years by a longshot. It'll demand that you focus on feeling all these forces at work. Recommend you have a louder than stock exhaust though. Peep the video of the faulty tach.. haha. oh man: https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v...33612798385582 And the end result: |

This car has so much torque that you need to start in 2nd gear.

As a final update to this thread, I had Subaru Pacific over President's Day weekend take a look into the transmission, ECU, clutch, and gearbox while I was away. I told them that there might be an issue with an old software version for the ECU (my BRZ was bought within the first 2 months or so of release).
When I returned they had found no mechanical issue, but they had wiped the ECU and installed the current software version. The car felt slightly different, but the gear transitions were just about the same "jerkiness" that they were before. Since then, just over a week later, my gear transitions have become incredibly smooth. I don't know if it's because I was skiing down Double Black Diamonds over in Big Bear for 4 days or the ECU software "learns" overtime, but my issues are gone, thankfully. Now I can let women ride in my car without feeling embarrased. HUZZAH! :happy anim: Last edited by carma143; 02-24-2015 at 12:37 AM. |

I had this issue a lot when I first got my car.
Still get it once in a while. Almost never get it anymore. It must be the ECU learning how to drive. Has nothing to do with this being my first MT car. |

Guys lets keep more pages of this thread going. It's not the driver's fault, we all now must flash our cars to avoid this.

Wow, thought I crazy.
But as I accel. letting out the clutch or normal light acceleration it jerks. Just enough throttle variance to make the car bounce off the slop in the drive line and the rubber mounts. It gets into a harmonic effect almost. Before anyone says, most of my cars have been manuals. What is different in this car vs. all others. Is fly by wire, computer controlled throttle. Just because my foot is on the peddle at 8% level to move while I let out the clutch. Doesn't mean the computer with all its inputs will output a constant TP or other adjustments it thinks it needs and the end result is dynamic acceleration leading to feeling this effect.
