- First Year Of Ownership - 2022 Subaru WRX [Deep Dive]
I talk about everything I have encountered with my 2022 Subaru WRX base manual, and I talk about costs, parts, expenses, gas mileage, problems, issues, and most importantly my transmission problems. 3rd gear is becoming a a problem. If you are considering a new WRX, or a 2023 Subaru WRX, or even a 2024 Subaru WRX, check it out!

22k on aggressive e50 tune and not one problem on clutch or transmission 🤷🏻♂️
Pro tuned as well 91 octane, makin 330whp and 370wtq😂. This guy just sounds like cry baby
lol
Totally. E30 tune on totally stock car gives reliable 320+ whp.
Best WRX platform so far for tuners. .
I have a little of that 3rd gear problem too it seems. On quick shifts with rapid acceleration 3rd gear some times just doesn't seat properly, like it's trying to kick me out. It has never completely prevented me from shifting though. 2023 WRX Base bought used at 9k miles (12000 miles now). Only shifter mod I have is a left side BilletWorkz shift stop to remove the slop from 1st and 2nd.
Great video
Thanks!
Holy drone batman
Thats why I got the RES valvtronic with a resonator. No drone and I can make it more quiet than stock with the click of a button
I get 29+ mpg on my 2023 WRX Base. Almost all highway. Never had ANY problems with the transmission. I even put in the billetworkz shift stop. Sounds like something with that car specific
My 2022 wrx base blew its transmission at 27k miles
@@PhilmeisterWRX what were your driving habits? I’ve yet to hear about a VB with a blown trans that wasn’t tuned or beat on.
@@jaidedeye my car had an intake and tune and dynoed at 329/342 on pump. To be fair I did hard pulls every day raced it did digs and rolls so that’s why it blew so early
@@PhilmeisterWRX good numbers. These cars are super impressive. They can get numbers of a Full bolt on VA STI with only an intake, Tune and E30.
It had been 20 years since I drove a manual before buying my 2022 WRX. Transmission feels good to me. I agree that it is not user error .. might be a warranty issue .. I suggest you push dealership to fix it
Average fuel economy for the 2.0 liter is around 23-25mpg. You did really good with yours.
3rd gear sounds like a problem. You should bring it in.
These cars always have some issue with the gears, best bet is to switch out the crappy oem fluid and throw some motul or your choice of high quality synthetic fluid in.
I get 19 MPG 😢
I just drive it to work and back
Havent had the 3rd gear issues yet (1.5 years 13k miles) but i constantly have clutch or throwout issues within my pedal for shifting. ive been trying to have them fix, really hope they do it this time so i can send it finally lmao. But i do get weirdness thru 1/2 mostly, but the same thing im just nervous to tune it especially in its current condition, but they do seem to drive better when your more aggressive, more you baby the weirder it drives (for me)
I agree! If you try to baby it in 1/2 it gets all wonky!
Perhaps a stiffer motor mount? Could be too much twist in engine makes for a hard shift on Occassion?
Have a '22 premium. I've had 2 instances where I could not shift into 3rd gear from 2nd. Happened both times within a 2 week or so period early on after I got the car. I've owned several other manual cars and never had a lock out like this.
Anyway my take on this is that this happened both times shortly after I basically started from 2nd gear after coming to a complete stop on a downhill slope (at a light and also at a stop sign so I was already rolling slowly in neutral after stopping when I engaged 2nd gear skipping 1st as opposed to starting from 1st).
I would do this with my other manual cars I've owned with no problems but maybe this car doesn't like it. I always make sure to start from 1st gear now from a stop even though I may be already rolling down hill in neutral after coming to a complete stop and haven't had the issue since.
Also, I brought it in to the dealer to look at and they said they did not see or notice any problems or could replicate the issue
Same thing here. I'm at 13000kms and at around 11000 I had issues getting into 3rd during pulls and also a few times just cruising. 1000kms later and it's been fine. So weird!
Maybe needs stiffer motor mount? Sometimes on hard acceleration could be a bit too much movement and impacts the shift?
I have definitely been thinking this because the current motor mounts have a decent amount of play in them. But it is what it is.
The VB looks makes me love my VA even more. I have a 2018 with only 21k miles on it. Been tuned since 7k, made 388 whp (dyno'd on 17' rpf1s) on a mustang dyno, still going strong.
Wow! How is the trans holding up?
@@AutoEnthusiast No issues at all. I don't run full ethanol that often every couple of tanks.
I get 28-29mpg average in my 2023 premium. I don’t have any issues with my transmission either. I’m wondering if there were some slight tune and transmission revisions in the 23/24 model years.
wait what?!! What type of fuel do you use?
@@AutoEnthusiast I run 93. I know plenty of other owners getting 27-29 mpg
So now you’re experiencing the “being blocked out of 3rd?” Man I swear it’s something if you are in or are coming out of a curve. Like if the car feels its degree is tilted it blocks you
That exact thing happened to the Dodge Viper ACR driver trying to break the 7 minute time on certain corners at extreme cornering loads....
I figured out the 3rd gear lockout. Had it for a long time and finally decided to buy the shift stop for 1&2 and I found out from installing that shift stop that my oem one was installed too far too the right. Adjusting the oem one completely fixed my 3rd gear issue. I’m sure a lot of people are experiencing the same thing I did. Only took me 59k miles to figure it out on my 22 vb. I’d try fixing your oem shift stop if your having issues and see if it helps because the shift stop does actually change the path of your gears in a significant way.
@@yoltsbp good stuff man I’d be willing to believe that is in fact it! Thankfully it very rarely happens to me so I’m kinda like “eh, it’s whatever” haha
I’ve seen 7 cyber trucks now, they are so god dam ugly in person
they are
I bought my 22 WRX new in Oct 2022. Zero issues with transmission. Although in my error I had it at 70% reduction in shifter throw for 9 months 🤦🏻♂️ Hopefully I don’t experience long term effects for that. Currently at 15% reduction love there.
Though I did change to Moltul gear oil with in two months of owning it. Stiffer mounts front to back as well. Maybe the quality oil and stiffing up the drive trane has kept my transmission running smooth 🤷🏻♂️
Oh And I’m pro tuned by Dman, 320hp/374trq.
I’m doing the same mounts, gear oil change and short shifter with my 23 premium. I really do think that the factory motor mounts, pitch stop and trans mounts are actually causing problems. I can feel my motor moving around a lot when rowing the gears to recline. Putting high quality gear oil in the trans and diffs should be one of the first mods done.
I picked up my 2023 Premium WRX 6 weeks ago and have had zero issues with the transmission. I really think you should take it into the dealership and have them check it out and if necessary have them bring in a field tech from SOA to look into it while it is still under warranty. There is no reason you should have to deal with this issue if it is something that happens more than once in a blue moon.
Ive mentioned it to them, it's "normal" and lots of people are facing it
75k on my 22 all stock
Had mine 10 months 11k miles avg 27.5mpg on summer tires 24 on winter only like 2% of my drivings been on freeway an never had any issue going into any gears but I have the sti shifter an cobb stage 1 shifter kit on my car an finally tuned mine 1k miles ago an it completely wakes up the car ran the cobb ots tune a for alil before my protune but I did have to stwitch it to the 91 map even using 93 the car kept dropping dam on the 93 ots map
I’ve never had an issue with 3rd popping out, I also have a shift plate, weighted shift knob, brass shifter bushing. Could be one of those things helping
Ive purchased upgrades based on your videos. New WRX owner here. 2023 WRX base in solar orange. The seat s are horrible. Just ordered Katskin leather seats.
thanks for the support!
Time to have a video where you get it dirty; country road and in the snow.
I wish! We really don't have dirt roads out here!
I destroyed my 3rd gear already. E40 tune 255 tires and rear cusco LSD.
How’s the rear Cusco lsd? Is it loud?
VB + $1k = 330 - 350 whp
So let me go build a VA. LOL.
just going to say it, the math above means the va is cheaper to make power and has the same choke point. Not to be negative, but VA+3k=330-350 whp, and I can get a VA for ~9k ish.
My friend. i noticed your left eye is lagging when blinking. seriously you probably need to be checked out. Nice car but health is more important!
😅
I kid you not, you just had me filming slow motion videos of myself blinking lol. I did re-watch the video, i think at the beginning of this video there is a little learning distortion from the gopros stabilizer lol
Have you considered changing your channel name to something less general?
I have, I just can't land on what
Nobody tell him the VA has the same transmission
It doesn't, there are slight changes to a handful of BOM's
@@AutoEnthusiast it’s the same 5 speed that Subaru used in previous generation they added an extra gear to. If you are getting a VA STi that will have a different trans but all the WRX use the same transmission since 2014
