Slow RPM Buildup and weird shifting sound
Hey guys, i need some help diagnosing my car's problem, it currently has :
Fully Catless Header-Back exhaust (exc. Overpipe still stock) Tuned with Dastek Unichip Q4 Piggyback HKS Inlet Tube HKS Drop in filter The rest is pretty much stock. Ive got the tune 2 years ago without any problems, but in the recent months i noticed that when accelerating, WOT from 3rd to 4th gear, the RPM doesnt climb straight, it even drops for a second before starts climbing up. And it makes an unfamiliar shifting sound everytime i shift near redline on every gear, its just most noticable on 3 to 4th. It happens if the car's quite warm after 10 mins driving redline, but i think it also happens even when the car's relatively cold. I cant remember since when these things happen, but im pretty sure its not like this even after 1 year since its tuned. I showed the video to my tuner, and he said its the AT being too hot but why does it happen on an NA car ? or is it an ATF issue ? Video : "https://youtu.be/KFM14jSY4Rw" "https://youtu.be/UHcsrUdXnx4" ps : Speedo is -10% off due to oversized tyres, 235/45 and 255/45 on 18" wheels |

I also changed the ATF by doing drain and fill just once last year, using total LVMV atf recommended by the workshop since i cant find suitable motul/redline atf here. in my case, should i continue drain and flush with the same total lvmv or try to find motul/redline? |

As far as what ATF to use, I'd just use whatever is within spec as suggested by the manual. I don't have an AT so, I never looked into it. Hopefully others will come along with some good advice - Back in the day ..... hmmmm ..... back in my day, average cars didn't have automatic transmissions. - |

My only thing was to suggest fresh ATF or have the transmission rebuilt. However, with these cars, I understand there is a little computer thing that tells the transmission what to do when. Maybe it needs to be looked at? |

If you want to completely flush the ATF, you'll have to do drain and fill 3 times.

the car is relatively rare here, subaru's official workshop is closed permanently, i even once took the car to toyota dealership for general maintrenance and the mechanics asked what car is the 86 ? man i took off right away, true story. If this can be fixed by flushing, im looking at a dead end. Last edited by Blackedout86; 07-15-2020 at 11:07 AM. |

His case is an extreme scenario. He was tracking hard on a 100+ degree weather and his coolant temp was also very high. AT uses the coolant to warm up the transmission on cold startup, but this also affect the transmission negatively when it's overheating.
You can flush with Toyota ATF WS and be fine. No need for fancy brands if the transmission isn't seeing extreme heat |

Flushing an automatic isn't too bad. While I don't know how/where/whether the drain & fill bolts for BRZ/86 automatic transmissions exist, this is what I did on a Mazda/Ford auto transmission:
Find the transmission oil drain bolt. If it doesn't have one, I suggest taking the oil pan off. That way you'll clear out any gunk as well. While you're there, also change the filter. Let the oil drain overnight. It will be a lot. Turn the rear wheels (if possible) to turn the torque convertor while in Neutral, to get out any hidden oil in the TC. If you can measure how much oil has been drained, you can add the same amount back in through the trans dipstick tube (if it doesn't have fill hole). If not, keep adding slowly until you reach the dipstick tube mark. Most likely you'll end up filling too much oil. Please make sure you have a suction pipe to pull out any excess oil. This will be a patient weekend project. HOWEVER, if it is one of those "non-serviceable" transmissions... well.... have fun doing something else during that weekend instead. Not worth sacrificing a fun weekend. |

Can you post a data log?
If it is because of the trans fluid here is the procedure, much simpler version. the manual makes it look 10x more difficult then it really is. I have done this at least 8 times now. basically 1 more step than an oil change really. https://www.ft86club.com/forums/show...2&postcount=12 Do you not have access to toyota ATF fluid? |

The noise you mention reminds me of the goose honk you get sometimes on manual transmission with a bad throwout bearing.
Honestly yours doesn't sound bad and its awesome to see someone banging gears at redline in the auto. But keep an eye on it to see if it changes. |

i even tried unplugging the Piggyback, so the car is basically stock tuned, but the problem still exists. so thats not a tune-related problem either. |
