Hello txptkxhse3291 and welcome to the forum and FR-S ownership .....
Thanks for serving our country ....
It seems that most of the manual transmissions in these cars are bit notchy going into 2nd gear, especially when cold.
Does the clanking sound go away once the transmission is fully warmed up (after about 5 miles) .. ??
These transmissions tend to smooth out after a few thousand miles, however, like mentioned up above, you may wish to have the dealership take a look see. Maybe shift another one on the lot to make a comparison.
Enjoy your new machine!
