BJ, Shea, Evan, Lee -- you guys ever get alot of gear noise from the transmission when coasting?
i've heard it's a "thing" that is particularly evident in imprezas, especially 5 speeds. it's not alarming but it's more than i'm used to -- sounds kind of like a school bus whine :lol: . it's louder after the tranny warms up. i'm putting new fluid in this week..."extra-s" synth from subaru.
we'll see how it goes i guess.
in other news, after 2 weeks i'm averaging 28 mpg combined....not bad at all. i've upped my tire pressures and the weathers cooling (ha, relatively speaking) so the AC won't be maxed out constantly and i'm expecting the milage to keep going up.
oh yeah, fun stuff! 20mm rear sway will be picked up on thursday and i've got an intake duct and intake elbow from a WRX locked down for free from a wrecked local WRX.
