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.
This and the laggy throttle response are my 2 hates for this car. I also find when I'm shifting there's way too much slack and it gives me the shits because you can't shift smoothly. Does anyone suspect this issue to be due to very soft engine mounts?

In my last car (honda Integra DC5) I had poly mounts and it shifted and had the response of a race car. I just find the response and shift feel in this car to be very below par.
