With the mr2, the e153 transmission is silky and strong, but now feels like I'm shifting a schoolbus compared to the FRS
I didn't even know you got an FR-S congrats! I loved the MR2 saw the thread a while back are you keeping that? Those cars are awesome.

I do agree with the OP at first my transmission did not give me a lot of assurance but lately its been feeling very good. Just past 6k miles. I also think getting "better" at shifting it helped a lot as this was my first manual car, but I definitely notice almost no shaking of the tranny in early revs like I did before.
