Update after a few weeks for cars trans

Currently, the car shifts very well. I normally get a couple 2nd gear lockouts and stiff shifts into 4th when cold but the trans warms up quickly with some hard pulls. Not 100% but it is a solid 90

What I did was adjust the reverse lockout plate to have about a 1/16" of play on the shifter when in 1st and 2nd to allow for room when the driveline torques around or just shifts. I also then replaced the gear oil with something my local import mechanic recommended for the BRZ. It is the 75W-90 Full Synth offered by Liqui Moly. it is lots lighter than the Lucas Oil that was in there and stinks a whole lot less too. I double checked all over the frame when leveling the car and left it sit and slowly drain out for over a half hour to be sure all the excess fluid is gone. Hopefully now it has been finally nailed down. The car is a pure joy to drive now and not the chore it was shortly after I bought it
