Some problems with the automatic transmission in the Subaru BRZ can make it hard to shift gears and be noisy in certain situations. The main reasons for these issues are usually related to the gearbox and clutch. When the clutch lacks the necessary friction to engage properly, you may notice it slipping as you release the pedal and try to accelerate – with your vehicle moving slowly and the engine revving higher. Continuing to drive with a faulty clutch can lead to additional damage to the clutch itself, the gearbox, the shifter, or even the starter motor. Clutches typically fail either suddenly or gradually.
