Yeah. It was painfully obvious when we first picked up the car and they had misaligned the shifter gate that these guys had no clue how a manual transmission should work. I guess that's to be expected more and more these days since there are less and less manual transmissions. Just because a guy works on a car doesn't mean he has any idea how to shift.

The local Subaru dealer, who is more accustomed to the engine, can't do warranty work. And I don't think the tranny is Subie - maybe you guys know what it is.

The next closest Toyota dealer is a possibility.

But, first, I was thinking I'd just try some of the suggestions - like bleeding the clutch, and checking the transmission fluid, possibly replacing it if I had the sense they changed it. I will also look into what clutch adjustments there are. But I don't really want to mess with that if this really is work the dealer should be doing.
