Hi All, I received my new 2022 BRZ about 3 or 4 months ago (5000kms) and I am loving it however I just have some general questions. I have come from using an automatic Holden SV6 Commodore (used for 7 years) to this so the transition back to Manual has been challenging and I constantly worry that poor shifting or trying to learn will damage the car long term.

I still struggle with up shifts sometimes as I think I hold the clutch in for too long rather a smooth transition. This results in the car dropping rev and kind of jerking forward. Am I correct in the assessment and what can I do to improve?

I have been trying to learn how to Rev Match and I am struggling but getting better and I assume it will come with time. However, I am struggling to learn how to Heel Toe so has anyone got any tips to learn. I find that during normal driving I cannot get the brake low enough to comfortably blip the throttle and when I do the response isn't immediate.

Any tips and tricks and just general advice for car ownership or recommendations of changes are massively appreciated as I am very new to learning cars but want to be deeply involved with understanding and developing the car and my skills over time.
