My FR-S 6MT has only about 350 miles on it. When it's in neutral and idling, I notice that sometimes the idle drops down a few hundred (to around 500RPM) then shoots back up again. It has never stalled and there are no engine lights coming on. Is this normal? If it isn't, what should I do? I know the dealer is going to give me a hard time if I bring it to service because the idle goes up and down occasionally.

My last question is, are these manual transmissions supposed to be so damn loud? Every time I put it into gear there is this clunk. It's as if the clutch just wants to be pushed down another inch so it can go into gear smoothly. I am however pushing it as far as I can. Same thing here, is this normal or should I talk to the dealer? Is there a fix?

Any help is appreciated
