You're talking about the 'clunk' when stopped and shifting into first from neutral... just put clutch in and don't shift into first right away. Like when the light turns yellow put the clutch in then just before green shift into 1st. Problem solved.

Also I don't think smooth is the right word for FWD transaxle shifters, the words 'floppy' and 'jello' comes to mind, way too much play in neutral, even in the Honda's and Acura's I've had. With a proper gearbox transmission in a RWD sportscar you get a very precise and positive shifting feel, which the FR-S has. If you want a buttery 'smooth' RWD shifter that shifts itself and avoids neutral like it has a disease, the ND MX-5 is your ticket...personally can't stand the ND MX-5 shifter at all....very frustrating feeling to me.
