I've got 4000km on my 2004 Forester 2.5XS (5spd manual). Moderate
acceleration from 2600rpm through about 3700rpm is lumpy. Lumpy is probably
the best way to describe it. Whatever it is, it is definately not smooth
acceleration. Operating and shifting at 4000+rpm, the engine sounds
strained, like it's time to shift. Occasionaly I have noticed rough idle
when sitting at a stop light. Any ideas?
My 90 Legacy with 2.2 (5spd manual) certainly doesn't have this lumpy
acceleration and the shift rpms I use in it are 2500 - 3300rpm, depending on
acceleration requirements. The 2.2, though 15years and 180,000km older feels
like it produces better and smoother power, even in the heavier car. mmm?
