Hello,

I have the car listed above 2SS with the 6-speed manual.

Lately I have noticed it has a small squeak (maybe a half second or less, it isn’t a continuous squeak) when shifting from / to certain gears. It does have the auto rev match feature, and I’ve noticed this problem only occurs when the auto rev match is on (so I don’t think it has anything to do with the clutch / transmission). When I turn the auto rev match off, I don’t hear any squeak. Additionally, I have noticed it starts and continues after driving for a little bit (approx. 5-10 mins). The RPMs don’t seem to make a difference, whether I’m shifting at 2,000 or 4,000, etc.

I have mainly noticed it when:
Upshifting:
4 > 5 (Sometimes)
5 > 6

Downshifting:
6 > 5
5 > 4
4 > 3

I so far haven’t heard it:
Upshifting:
1 > 2
2 > 3
3 > 4

Downshifting:
3 > 2
2 > 1

Also, no sound when going into / out of reverse.

Hi,

Wow! That's a tough one. I researched for any technical service bulletins, but nothing showed up.

By chance, can you tell me approximately where it is coming from? I'm questioning an engine or transmission mount based on what you said. Also, is it loud enough to record and upload for me to hear?

As far as the issue, since the vehicle is new, I would recommend having it inspected at a dealership for warranty reasons. However, I'm interested in knowing as much as I can, so a video would be great or if you can let me know an approximate location, hopefully I can provide some ideas for you to check.

Let me know.

Joe
