I would not say the drop is slow and steady. It seems to drop quickly, and then pause at around 2k rpms for around a half a second, and then slowly get down to normal idle (700 rpm or so).

This is not my first manual transmission vehicle, nor my first manual transmission turbo, awd Subaru

In checking around under the hood, it seems that my throttle cable is a bit loose, so I will try to adjust it.

Andrew,

Yes, the 94 wagon was an auto. I also had a 2002 WRX manual once and it did not make the same noise. To be truthful, I was unable to get above 2nd gear on the short test drive...no license plates.

Thanks,
Dave

NuwanD,

Thanks for the info. I tend to agree with you about the first noise. It is the second noise that has me more concerned. Any thoughts on this?

The car was cold (15 degrees F.) and has been sitting for a few weeks.

Hi everybody! I used to own a 94 Turbo Wagon, but sold it when my commute could not bear the mileage. I am back in the market, and I test drove a Turbo Sedan yesterday. 120k miles on the clock, manual transmission, overall pretty good shape. Engine seems to sound good. With the car running, if I put...
