What’s the Importance of Your 2016 BRZ’s Transmission?

The transmission delivers power from the engine to the wheels so that you can drive on your terms. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, a tiny transmission issue can take a major toll on your car’s performance. They're often easy to notice. Subaru BRZ transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises or a burning smell coming from beneath the hood. Let Subaru BRZ transmission problems linger and you could see your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your BRZ at all.

Subaru Transmission Recommendations for 2016 BRZs

Subaru recommends having your BRZ's transmission system routinely inspected for wear and tear. For example, Subaru recommends exchanging transmission and differential fluids in 2016 Subaru BRZs at certain intervals with Subaru-approved transmission fluid. Our technicians are trained to service 2016  Subaru BRZ transmission systems according to vehicle manufacturer recommendations. Schedule an appointment at your local Firestone Complete Auto Care at the first sign of transmission problems to help keep your engine running at peak performance.

2016 Subaru BRZ Transmission Q&A

  • What happens when you "ride" your Subaru's brakes? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can my Subaru tow?   Think twice before volunteering to tow a moving trailer, no matter how light the load might seem. Defying your BRZ towing capacity can spell trouble for the transmission system. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • Does my BRZ's transmission fluid need to be inspected? Caring for your Subaru BRZ’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Subaru. The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Subaru BRZ? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Subaru BRZ, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.
  • Who can fix my  Subaru BRZ transmission leak? When your BRZ transmission is acting up, Firestone Complete Auto Care is here to help. Book an appointment today for transmission system diagnostics and repairs.
  • Should I avoid driving my Subaru BRZ if there is a transmission fluid leak? You should avoid driving with a transmission fluid leak. Your transmission system relies on transmission fluid to operate properly, and a leak may decrease performance, cause your BRZ to overheat, or even lead to transmission failure.
