What Does Your Subaru BRZ Transmission Do?

The transmission delivers power from the motor to your wheels so that you can drive at your desired speed. Because your transmission is responsible for converting the right amount of power into the right amount of speed, even the smallest transmission problems should be addressed right away. They're often easy to notice. Subaru BRZ transmission problems can present themselves as shifting delays, grinding when accelerating, the car shaking on the road, or whistling noises and a burning smell coming from under the hood. Let Subaru BRZ transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your BRZ at all.

2020 Subaru BRZ Transmission Q&A

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Subaru? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Subaru? 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. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your BRZ is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • How often does my BRZ transmission fluid need to be checked? Maintaining your Subaru BRZ transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. 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. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Subaru BRZ? Yes. Subaru BRZ transmission fluid can leak over time and potentially cause transmission issues. Worn or damaged seals, a loose or damaged transmission pan, a cracked transmission housing, faulty transmission cooler lines, or an overfilled transmission could cause transmission fluid leaks.
  • Who can fix my  Subaru BRZ transmission leak? Your local Firestone Complete Auto Care can troubleshoot and repair BRZ transmission systems. Book an appointment online today.
  • Should I avoid driving my Subaru BRZ if there is a transmission fluid leak? It’s not advisable to drive your BRZ if it’s leaking transmission fluid. Your transmission system needs transmission fluid to function properly, and a leak can lead to significant problems, such as overheating or reduced performance. You might even experience transmission failure.
