  1. Dealer Service, Maintenance, and Warranty Issues
    My 2013 XV MT runs and starts normal almost every time, but if I’m out running errands, it’ll start as usual but then die within seconds. If I catch it and give it gas, it’ll be fine. Clutch is fine and the car is in neutral to start. I’m thinking that it could be the throttle body, but wanted...
  2. Lighting, Electrical, and EyeSight
    Since I bought the car in July 2022, I have wanted to add yellow fog lights and absolutely loved the diode dynamic lights. I liked that I could upgrade my lights to LED without wiring or drilling holes since the car is a 2022 so I'm not ready for that yet. Finally, last week I received them in...

    Picked up our 23 Crosstrek Premium 6MT this morning after a 2.5 month wait. I'm a tall guy so I was a little worried since I never had a chance to sit in one or test drive one. I was pleasantly surprised by the room. This is going to be my new daily and so far I'm really happy. I have a few mods...
  4. Lighting, Electrical, and EyeSight
    Does anyone know if it's possible to swap a cluster from a limited model into the premium manual? I would really like the larger guages with the color information screen but I'm not sure if it will work. I'm curious if it will function normally in the premium especially with the gear readout and...
  5. Engine and Drivetrain
    Hey guys, So I recently purchased my 19 XV CROSSTREK with 21k on the odometer in February. Since then I’ve put another 7k on. New tires, oil, and wipers have been the only items replaced. Since probably the first week of owning the car I’ve noticed several things with the transmission. I should...
  6. Interior, Audio, and HVAC
    Anyone know how to remove the manual trans shift boot? The car is a 2021 6MT, not sure if it matters. I’ve tried ‘pulling the boot towards the shifter’ but no joy. I’ve tried using soft interior removal tools to pry, no joy. I appreciate any help you can provide, thanks!
  7. Engine and Drivetrain
    Edit: I found it. I am looking to change the front diff / gear oil and realized that I can't locate a dipstick, despite the service manual and parts diagram saying there is one. I believe I've found where one would go... there were leaves in there. I picked out what I could and felt around with...
  8. Lighting, Electrical, and EyeSight
    Does anyone know which one is for the center console Cigarette lighter? I'm guessing the 20A at the top of the picture. Too windy and dark in NY to swap it out now. Mine went out this evening. love the advice that is always given out on this board. Thanks in advance for any help passed along!
  9. Crosstreks Off Road
    Hey guys, Looking for the tire sizes I'd be safe to slap on my new subie without a lift (for now). I may be lifting it in the future, but am looking for a tire/rim combo that'd work for now and later with limited/no rubbing. I see reddit threads where guys are throwing on BFGoodrich KO2's or...
  10. Engine and Drivetrain
    Hi all, I just received my 2019 Crosstrek MT and noticed how light the clutch feels compared to other vehicles we have that are MT e.g Mazda 3 (2014). I have read numerous forums and called two dealers in Canada regarding the feel of the clutch; my question is there a spring that aids to make...
  11. DIY and 3rd party Maintenance, How To's & Tools
    I am currently repairing an accidented Crosstrek 2019 and I need the workshop / repair / service manual for the cvt 2.0 model I can't find it online and subaru charges 34.95 for 3 days or way to expansive more than that. Someone has it? pdf?

  13. Dealer Service, Maintenance, and Warranty Issues
    Hey all, just bought a new 2018 Crosstrek Premium with the 6 spd Manual. I ended up taking it back to the dealer almost immediately after noticing a slight thumping / popping sound — a little like properly functioning twin cylinder motorcycle engine — coming from the left side of the engine. It...
  14. Dealer Service, Maintenance, and Warranty Issues
    Hi, Was wondering if anyone had a problem where their 5MT was stuck in 4th gear (attempted to reverse out of my parking spot as usual, went into 4th gear instead, couldn’t get the gear out of 4th despite my clutch being engaged). Bought the car brand new. I turned off the car and tried to make...
  15. Engine and Drivetrain
    Was wondering if this issue has happened to anyone other than me. Was cruising home in my '15, got off freeway, shifting through gears as normal, and noticed a quick grind going into third, but no other gears. Initially thought I just didn't push clutch in far enough, however, the same little...
  16. Dealer Service, Maintenance, and Warranty Issues
    Little background first. I have over 30 years experience driving all sorts of manual transmission vehicles, but my XV especially with the AC on every so often surprises me with nearly stalling as I take off from a full stop. I typically save it from completely dying by hitting the clutch and...

    Hello, New to the XV forum, I've been lurking for a month or so. I got my Crosstrek a few days ago and absolutely love it! I had a 2014 Impreza sport for about 4 months, I could never get used to the low slung body style or the CVT, I previously had a lifted jeep! The CVT was just not for me...
  18. Dealer Service, Maintenance, and Warranty Issues
    I just had 2 synchronizes replaced (under warranty, but with a stern warning from the shop) due to resting my arm on the shifter knob during my daily commute. I'd had heard some people talk about this, but nobody had really had problems that I had heard. I had problems. By putting pressure on...
