It's a frickin honor to have you posting on my thread. I've read everything you've ever written and watched all your YouTube vids.
Frickin DI issue had me nervous about the FRS. I've had zero major issues besides the trans. But I bought her any way cuz I'm just in love with the twins
I'm friends with the service manager at my Toyota dealer. He said my bushing won't be an issue. He was actually interested in how they made it feel better.


I'm just gunna have them document my concerns, soon. Works been slammed. Wrapping a lot of cars. Will probably take her in next week.

Since last week when I got the whiteline and Perrin shift bushings in the trans feels over 50% better. 1st and 2nd are still a little bitch to engage sometimes when she's cold but after 15 min of driving the box is pretty warmed up and smooth. Also changed out the fluid again (2nd time) with motul 300 again. Had a rattle and it turned out to be one of the 14mm nuts and washers on the trans cross member I forgot to torque. Ooops haha rechecked and torqued everything again and it's rattle free! Love the gear whine because racecar!

I totally agree with you guys, the trans is more stubborn at lower RPMs. When I'm just cruisin around town. Mashing at higher RPMs in the canyons, blipping throttle and going to 2nd is no issue. It's weird.

I've had no grinds, and let's be clear, a grind is a frickin grind haha should sound like you trying to push into a gear with no clutch. I've never gotten that. I just had the marble trans that's argumentative at times. Recently she's been pretty good tho!
