Gear grinding issue
I have recently bought my second BRZ and it was perfectly fine up until recently. I was getting a gear grind when shifting into 6th gear from anything above 4500 RPM. And I only had 2,400 miles on my new car. So I took it in and they told me that I needed a new transmission and that they ordered it for me already.
I was wondering a couple things. First when they run the diagnostic and send to Subaru on how I was driving the car (not quite sure what the correct name for it is) what would cause them to void my warranty? Second has this happened to anyone else on here this early into owning a brand new one. Thanks!! |

Curious, just how fast were you going when you shifted from 5th to 6th at 4500 rpms ?- Was your first BRZ a MT? Warranties are not "voided", however, the dealership can "deny coverage" - If they are ordering you a new transmission, it sounds like they are going to warrant it. - It's not unusual for a new transmission in these cars to be a bit "stiff" until they get broke in. However, if the dealership decided it was a bad transmission, maybe it was defective (maybe a bad synchronizer). I don't see how the car could record your bad driving habits (as far as the transmission goes). Nope, the MT in my 2013 FR-S shifts perfectly (as long as I don't mess up) - I hope they get your car fixed up soon. humfrz |
