I have fewer than 2000 miles on my Subarota. In that time, though, I've noticed it shares some transmission quirks with my '06 F150 DD. The most notable is, it does NOT like to be forced into a shift. If I'm sitting at a light with the truck in neutral and the light turns green, a quick stab on the clutch pedal and a shove of the shifter into first will yield exactly nothing. It will simply NOT shift into first. On the other hand, a gentle push of the lever leaving time for the various parts to do what they are supposed to do results in a smooth engagement of the gear.

My particular BRZ is very similar. It responds very well to a gentle, but firm, hand on the shifter. Give it a little time. Sometimes the fastest way to get something done is to slow down a little.
