Gearbox Problems
#1
I saw this thread and hope you peeps can help.
Just bought my first Impreza 2 months ago (Series McRae with 45K on it). Have had a small resonating noise from the engine compartment becoming more and more prominent (now it's there virtually all the time). Took it in to the dealer thinking it was the heat shield or something, they reckon it's coming from the GBX, and want to strip it before deciding whether my (Subaru Proven) warranty will cover it....Think I should let them? (I feel the a 'wear and tear' knockback coming on)or should I drive it til it breaks? - then would they have to repair it on the warranty?
Does anyone have experience of dealing with the Subaru Proven Warranty? or even with GBX problems? Please Help!
Other than that, the car's been great.
Cheers.

If it was me I wouldnt let em touch it yet.
I bought a MY96 3 years ago and it had a rattly/resonating sound which I was worried about at first but I did nothing about it. 3 years later rattle was still there but no problems. I am convinced it was coming from the heat shield around the downpipe.
Hope this helps
