^What he said.
I noticed the 1st gear thud the first day of having my BRZ. Read other threads about this, and it was theorized as driveshaft synchronization. Suggestion, as root stated, was hold clutch in slightly longer. Did that and I no longer thuds shifting into first. Common on all FT86's.
Oh, and May 2013 build with no issues except loud crickets. Not a single rattle as others have complained about.
