Shifting in this car is an acquired skill. I’ve driven manual transmissions exclusively since 1985, VW products. And my BRZ is quirkier. And lots of fun when you get the hang of it.
But I still stall it out once in a while. Just last week at a traffic light. Not enough juice and not fluid enough left pedal.
I do like the way the shifter goes through the gates. Brute force doesn’t go well, especially 2nd to 3rd. I find a light touch on the shifter gives great results. As does shift points north of 5500 RPM.
Shoes impact driveability as well. Boots aren’t appropriate attire in the drivers seat. My faves are Teva watershoes. Mesh uppers with grippy soles. Lightweight and narrow.
