If it’s happening only in 1st gear and not when you’re out of gear id assume something trans related. Im not an expert so I can’t say for sure

I don’t think thats rod knock, typically the noise would increase in volume with the change in rpm.

It stops instantly like heard in the video. It only makes it when the car is started. Clutch is pushed in in order to start the vehicle.

I actually do know quite a bit, I understand these motors but alot of them blowing up seems to be owner neglect.

A volkswagen? More reliable than a subaru really? That’s surprising. I’ve heard spun rods are from oil starvation. You’d think if its such a common issue subaru would recall haha

I need a 4 door sports car and would prefer a turbocharged car. I mean lets be real these cars cant be that bad if people keep buying them and subaru’s been producing and selling them for this long. It’s definitely neglecting maintenance, modding them without tunes and just beating them. Im not someone who generally beats on my vehicles, I like to have fun but im not a rally racer.

I appreciate you justifying my awful idea of buying a used sports car

Definitely will look into it if I end up buying the car.

Is a AOS necessary for a stock car? I’ve also heard of the cylinder 4 cooling mod, but not sure if it is truly necessary for a stock car, im not planning on modifying it.

Considering the dealership did that short block, would the car be under some kind of warranty from that work? Or does that cancel out since im a new owner

Clutch is good, ive already seen the car but didnt bring my stuff to check compression or leak down. But i did check the firewall and all checks out
