ok i have a question, this is my first subaru and im not the best at knowing everything, i have a wierd noise coming from the tranny whet i let gas of or when the car is rolling idle, it sounds like a hard tick, tick kind of noise, pretty loud too, do you guys know what it could be any help or sugestion would be appreciated, thanks in advance, oh and almost forgot the tranny shifts fine, goes not kick outofgear or anything like that, shifts like i thing it should

 

If the frequency of the ticking sound varies with vehicle speed and doesn't matter if the car is in gear, then there's less likelihood that the problem is your transmission, but something in the drivetrain that spins in relation to the car's motion. Does the sound diminish or go away when you get back on the throttle?

Do you have any suspension drivetrain mods done to your car (anything from suspension to brakes to wheels)? Any mods done recently? Did you buy the car new?

I see that you are from the Sacramento area. It's hard to diagnose a ticking sound online but have you considered introducing yourself at the regular weekly SRIC Saturday night meet to see if other members can listen and help you figure out what the problem might be?

i had some coilovers on it but took them off just recently, and turned the car stock, the noise comes on only when i lift the gas padal off when i push gas again it comes back

 

yeah im getting the same thing in my 05 sti. it seems to start clicking when i slow down . but everything else seems okay

 

what is it, cause i wanna sell the car and dont want to have any problems

 

you could try a replace of the fluid with some "redline shockproof"

 

yea i'm getting the same **** pretty much...it starts to tick when i'm idle and start accelerating in 1st and reverse....the ticking sound also happens when i brake lightly too...its a MY04 WRX...got it jan of 2004...and so far got a downpipe (not coming from that) uppipe, new rotors, and pads, ACT SS clutch, the dealer said it had nothing to do with the tranny and clutch....but it still makes the dayam sound....but the car runs perfectly fine

 

my second was ticking. and than one day under normal driving boom.
