Next nearest dealer is 45 min away. But yeah, it's definitely not normal. My car's been doing it for something like 8k mi now.

Maybe they just don't want to do it? Shitty techs? Overbooked for repairs already? Who knows. |

I don't think they're overbooked as while they're the only dealer in the area I've never been able to not just walk in and have service immediately. However, this is a Toyota/Scion dealer; not a Subaru dealer as mine is an FR-S. Obviously it's the same car, and they know this but...I dunno. The place 45 minutes away there is both a Subaru and a Toyota/Scion dealer within a mile so they could at least conceivably talk to each other? I mean, the shit is clear as day. I've even taken video of it. It's a horrid crunch. Usually I have to shift back at least half way towards third and then go back toward fourth to get it to engage when this happens. Sometimes it still just goes in though.

Find contact info for a regional manager or contact corporate directly still. Its a known problem and is covered under warranty. Dealer has no reason to deny you.

Quick update: Took my FRS to local dealer. Thankfully got a more receptive, open minded service adviser than my previous visits. Their tech agreed that 4th gear is rough when it is engaged. Since it was a weekend and Subaru service center is closed, they will keep the car and contact the Subaru service tech on Monday. Honestly, I thought transmission was made by Toyota (TL70 or w/e according to my brief googling sesh). That subaru tech will decide weather to do additional testing and determine if they want to rebuild existing transmission OR replace it entirely. It will take couple of days minimum.
I got a '14 Camry SE - auto as a courtesy vehicle w/ a backup camera so that's a nice change of pace. I'm attaching the dashcam footage of the testdrive the service tech took. It's uneventful because you can't really hear the 4th gear "grind". |

The tech decided that the grind was in 4,5,6 gears. Dealership replaced entire transmission and it has been perfect since (fingers crossed). I think I dropped it off Saturday. Monday the special Subaru tech evaluated it. Tuesday I had a phonecall that my car was ready for pickup.

My problem is exactly as described in this thread no more no less, it works flawlessly for every gear change except for 3rd - 4th at higher rpm. Brought it to the dealer (which is an hour away) and ask if I could go for a test drive with the mechanic, he said sure let me just pull it into the shop first and check things out. 2-3hrs later service rep comes up to me, two mechanics took it for a drive and couldn't replicate the problem. Was not impressed. Anyways, in need to go back for something else so I'd like to return with some information about this problem. |

I had this issue for the first ~10k miles or less. Has totally gone away since. I'm not worried. |

It's done it since new. Noticed it the first high rpm shift 3-4 after the engine break-in was done. |
