Are you confident of your shifting technique? Have you had another experienced driver drive your car?

When you say, "shifting up to 4th," do mean from 3rd gear after accelerating, or from 5th gear so that you have more power for acceleration?

We have about 90k miles on our '13 FRS and the MT has been great.. no issues at all. It doesn't like to be manhandled, though... it slides into appropriate gears effortlessly, but doesn't like to be forced or slammed into gears that don't make sense for what the engine and wheels are currently doing.

If you're an experienced MT driver, then ignore this... Just checking.
