According to research "through mode" turns off the crappy factory eq settings. It sounds at once better (getting rid of electronic trickery like sound staging?) and muddier (mmmm factory speakers?). I long for a proper eq, but to be fair once I set it to "through" I was through and didn't mess with loudness or the bass/treble/mid settings.

 

Thanks. Is this independent of the adjustable EQ settings (bass/mid/treble)? Does thorough mode over-ride the EQ settings?

Has anyone with a 2010 or 2011 CVT done the TCM/ECM updates?

 

TCM 30919AB672

ECM 22765AB09D

sounds like mine did- quick- get a 100,000 mile warranty and have the tranny replaced.

 

I'm afraid the issue isn't pronounced and consistent enough for Subaru to do anything about it. The jerkiness only happens in very specific scenarios and the "dropping RPM AFTER coming to a complete stop" issue rarely ever happens, although it has been happening since the car had around 30-40k miles. I feel like the "dropping RPM AFTER coming to a complete stop" issue is not a torque converter or tranny issue, since it only happens when I am completely stopped. I could be wrong though.

Had mild jerkiness prior to tranny fluid change. Got a little better after fluid change. Now it's a little worse than it was before fluid change but same symptoms.

Update: 92k miles, getting progressively more jerky, mainly in stop/go traffic and coasting/breaking. Haven't really noticed any issues when accelerating. I baby this car, 90% highway miles. I will probably get the ECU/TCU program updates and see if that helps. CVT fluid was drained/filled at about 70k.

Looks really nice jasejase! Those ceiling tiles can be a biotch. I remember trying to replace a couple in my parents basement with little to no success. Probably smart to sub that out.

I hate crown.

 

Yes the crown is a royal PITA for sure but it was already installed so I decided to continue it on the new drywall that we installed in place of the crap we tore down. It would have been just as much work if not more to tear down the existing crown.

 

Money well spent!

 

According to HGTV, you've added $100,000 of value to your home.

 

Nice crown moulding. Did you do the work yourself?

 

Thanks, I wish I could say I did all the work. My friend and his dad are carpenters, so they helped me cut and hang the crown. Another friend specializes in flooring, so he did the laminate floor. We hired out for the drywall. I did everything else - Paint, caulk, installed 2 new outlets and ran a new coax outlet. The walls that were dark blue needed 3-4 coats. PITA! It was our first time remodeling anything and we are quite happy with how it turned out. Learned a lot, that's for sure. Total cost excluding furniture ~ $1500.

Looks great! Condo?

 

Thanks! It's a duplex

This is our basement living room remodel project from last year. The previous owners had very strange taste!

I think stalling the engine out is indicative of a problem cvt. The stumble coming to stop is a common 10-12 2.5i problem even with the 6MT. Mine has done it everyonce in while since new.

 

Isn't the "stumble" or "studder" problem an alternator problem?

Fair price for that GT

 

Rough trade-in $14,300

Average trade-in $15,625

Clean trade-in $16,700

Clean retail $19,675

71k miles, haven't changed CVT or diff fluids. No issues.

what's the tsx got for an engine? either way yours is way faster in the snow. Traction/Hp FTW!

 

It's a 2.4L with around 200hp but its decently peppy and handles well. She likes rubbing that in, until winter comes

Wife: "Even though your car is slower than mine, can I take it to work today? It's supposed to snow"

I hand her the keys and tell her she is going to need it because she's not very good at driving in snow

Her car: 2012 TSX

My 2011 Legacy Limited has a squeaky front passenger seat. My fiance is pretty much the only one in the seat and she weighs 130lbs. Car has 3k miles on it. Annoying as hell! Haven't brought it up to the dealer yet....waiting for the drivers seat to start so they can attempt to fix both. In a recent edition of Motortrend magazine, they described this car as "quirky." I couldn't agree more.
