Mines a little more server, as mentioned in my past posts I have play engaging initially in every gear, the most consistent is 5-6 gear under 3k rpm, you can feel the initial slack in the powertrain before it goes smooth, and also while coasting in gear and re accelerating, you can feel a good amount of slack, as if the main shaft in the tranny is a little loose, but however once it gets over that initial slack everything is fine, and under WOT or heavy load its fine, my dealer has forwarded the issue to Toyota Canada, awaiting response.

If anything what bugs me is it makes it very hard for smooth shifts when driving economically, again I went to the dealer and test drove there demo and I was able to drive it smoothly effortlessly, no matter how I drove and shifted it was smooth and effortless.

The sound I posted in the video no longer bothers me as it exist in every FRS/BRZ ive seen in person, seems to be a very normal thing, anyone share any symptoms I jsut talked about?
there is also a clunk sound when engaging every gear in my car too. Same clunk that you would hear popping it to first.
