I don't know you or how you really drive and have not been in your car. That said, in my 13k miles on my '15 BRZ the transmission has behaved just fine. Now, it does NOT like to be hurried and you have to give the synchros time to get their work done, particularly when the car's cold. But if I shift deliberately and firmly it will do exactly what I want, every time. Now, mine may take a dump on me tomorrow, but I don't think your experience is the norm.

For the money an LS swap will cost, and the aggravation and heartache it will probably cause, I recommend selling the BRZ and finding a low mileage Cayman. If you fit in them (I don't) I think you'll be ahead in both money and happiness.
