HI,
Re: MY08, 2.5 manual

I am having trouble with Subaru over a few issues. Any ideas or fixes?
Subaru claim this is all normal and intentional, and cannot help.

ONE
After a normal cold start, I try to back out the driveway (with minimal-no throttle) and the car starts revving on its own, in the range 2000-3200 rpm. Lucky I dont keep letting the clutch out with brake off! It usually cycles down, back up, and down again. I have posted some clips on utube.

TWO
There is no fine throttle control possible.. Its fly by wire I think, and its either on or off.. there is no feathering of the throttle possible. Try going down hill, or doing a hill start, or crawling in traffic,  or even a normal start in first gear. Its terrible.

THREE
When upshifting, the revs maintain for a moment even with no throttle. I bought a manual to have full control. Not to have it taken away. Not happy Jan.

FOUR
Try double-clutch and rev while down changing. It really consfuses things. The car starts revving just as you get into the lower gear when you want slowing, and then realises theres no throttle and backs off.


Subaru say in conclusion: 2
