Having this same issue with 2017 GT86. But notice that it is also dropping when braking. I would have thought that would be a charge zone! The car is also having trouble starting. I had to charge...

This picture is just what I pulled of the internet to show. See how the arm is adjustable and it gets larger - where I circled it. That's the spot that would hit the rocker.

I'd rather not call out this dealer in particular.

The problem is that the photo doesn't show that the side of the rockers bow out now where they were pushed up. It's obvious when looking at...

Warning: Dealer damaged rockers

Our car was recently serviced by a dealer (see other thread finally getting transmission fixed).

During the process, they bent the rockers. They are owning up to it and having them fixed - though...

Finally fixed! I have to give credit to the dealership for really staying in it to get it resolved.

A bunch of things did not fix it: different transmission fluid, re-aligned shifter and pins,...

I just measured another car's clutch slave, and it was the same 15 mm motion as we have. So the clutch is getting full travel, at least to the slave cylinder.

Does anyone know if there is a...

FYI, I got 15 mm travel at the top of the TOB lever arm where it sticks out of the top of the bell housing.

I will try to see if the dealer has any I can measure. I have a neighbor with one too. ...

FWIW, in the 2013 FRS manual, it says to use "Toyota Genuine Clutch Grease or equivalent." And it says to put it on the splines only, and not the tube that the TOB rides on.

I found the 2012 manual on this board. On page MT-40, it says that the input shaft splines should get Nichimoly TC5. Anyone have any idea what that is?

Also, is anyone willing to measure the throw of the clutch slave when the clutch pedal is depressed? It would be interesting to know if ours is shorter than what others have.

And does anyone know...

Hmm, I'm liking this theory of using the wrong lube on the input shaft. It explains the hard shifting when cold. It wouldn't have been an intentional mistake or even an error by the tech. It could...

Well, with the longer stroke, it's shifting better and smoother than ever. I'd say it's a little better with the first cold shifts. But not perfect.
