Echoing what others have observed, re: clutch & shifter...

I wouldn’t quite describe the action as “slipping” the clutch, however the 86 setup does seem to require a delicate balance between throttle and full release of the clutch just as the pedal begins to bite; which is higher than other cars I’ve driven, pretty much near the top of the travel.

Also agree that smooth shifting in the 86/FRS/BRZ does require just a bit more throttle (but not quite a clutch “slip”), and that the platform likes higher RPMs ie. definitely get smoother shifts when taking each gear to at least above 4000.
