Well, hello, TexasFRS and welcome to our fine forum........
I figure you have a manual transmission ..... ??
If so, yes, the transmission does make some "mechanical" sounds when shifting gears. In the FRS it's more noticeable because of the "light" insulation and because the driver is sitting right next to the transmission.
Also, the shift lever is almost directly in contact with the gears.
Here is my stock suggestions for shifting the FR-S:
First off, this transmission is happier when it is warm.
I would suggest that when shifting, wind up the last gear pretty tight (4-5,000 rpms) before shifting into the next higher gear.
Also, when shifting, pull (or push) the shift lever
slowly and
firmly into the next gear.
It's not a toggle switch ..... the lever is moving heavy transmission parts.
I suggest you NOT "lazy leg" it ……. do push the clutch pedal all the way to the floor.
If this technique doesn't help, you may consider changing the transmission oil.
