My FR-S was early production, I bought it May 31st. It was one of the first ones available in Canada.

That really scares me because the 'bump' in the drivetrain is what I'm talking about. It happens very infrequently and is impossible to recreate. I'm thinking the next time it creeps up to pull directly into the closest Toyota dealership and show them what I'm talking about.

As far as Idle dip, all I notice is when I first turn the car on it idles at 1500rpm, then after it settles it drops to ~600 and floats around there until I start going. Never really goes up or down more than 50rpms when idle (going on torque app data).

Did yours happen all the time or randomly like mine?
