I really like the FRS MT gearbox and transmission, but I still struggle to shift smoothly. My first three cars were MTs ('83 Celica, '84 Toy P/U, '97 Civic) with my last one being a AT ('05 4Runner). I do have to give Honda their props that the Civic gearbox was actually quite good in relationship; I haven't driven a S2000 before but I can imagine it being Civic-like but just better. I have to agree that the FRS gearbox is a little extra knotchy in the morning when it is still cold (sometimes 2nd is a little difficult to get into when it is cold for me). Transitions between gears both up and down are still challenging to get super smooth for me. I doubt I will ever get it as smooth as the FRS AT which for the most part is almost unnoticeable, but in a good way. But I do enjoy manual rowing the gears.
