My car is a 2006 2.5i 2800 kms/2000miles.
Took my car in today to get a noise checked out. The noice is only apparent around 4000-4400 rpms. It is a vibration noise coming from the shifter --quite annoying and pronounced. They tightened all the links still there. Now they want me to bring it back as they think it is the rear tranny end. The guys are being real nice about the issue.

For me it is kind of upsetting first subaru I've owned.
Not that I want to compare but I've had 8 hondas not one warranty problem.

Does anybody else have this problem?

 

Sometimes a part fails. I wouldn't be too stressed about it.

 

problem sounds like no biggy compared to the 02 WRX tranny issues that arose.

 

oh yeah, and congrats on the new toy. enjoy the smell while it last.

 

yeah, good thing you got rid of those POS hondas...





jokine. welcome

 

tOO FUNNY

Thanx guys---what problems did the wrx have---I quess I could do a search.

 

02 wrx tranny's were like jelly after about 60k miles of normal driving, or about 5 launches.

I used to own a honda...and everytime I mention it, I get flamed on about 3 pages worth...might wanna keep that under wraps...

 

Too funny--!! I know what you mean---I couldn't kill my GSR Civic SIR RSX-s trannys If I tried, I bagged the livin shi## out of these cars and they all still shifted flawlessly.

 

Update had the car in again still could not figure out was wrong they said they are going to order a new clutch and flywheel--which makes no-sense.

I will keep you all posted.

 

hey what ever came of your tranny issues. i have an 06 also and last week at 14000 miles my tranny died. i commute in it and only drive fast on the freeway but they say first and second went. they are saying theydont want to cover it right now. did you have any problems with them working on yours.

 

i have always had problems with the synchros in the integra tranny personally..

 

in my 06 2.5i when I go 65+ sometimes I hear a sound that sounds like when you're blowing into a bottle kinda weird. u ever get this?

 

blew two b series tranny's myself...

 

Are you at 4000-4500 rpm, when you hear the noise?

I have an 06 OBS 5MT and my shifter rattles at those rpm's. To my ears, it sounds like loose coins, but my friend described the sound just as you had.

 

ya... I think so. I'm usually going pretty fast in 4th or 5th when it happens.

I almost wonder if it's from the wind though?
