The more I have been driving it, the better it has gotten. Not sure if getting used to it, or it is being "broken in" more.

Has anyone driven multiple variants to confirm that some of these cars shift significantly worse than others?

Now shifting gears in my 1-ton Silverado, that takes some time and patience and the gear lever is longer than my leg, hahha
Simple. While it's stone cold, for your 1-2 shift, pause in neutral for a second. Then you will immediately understand.

pull into 2nd

it went into 2nd just fine. admittedly it doesn't like to downshift into 1st without rev matching but when I match it goes right in.

maybe I'm just lucky

I meant just with the clutch depressed, pause for a bit in neutral, then go for second gear. Even after 20K miles, if I don't get through neutral quickly enough, that sucker won't go in unless I yank extra hard. Higher gears are fine but second gear is still short enough that the synchro has trouble spooling the input side through the thick oil.

For the record, I have zero complaints about this transmission, so far. I just instinctively play around to see what technique gets me through the gears using the lightest touch possible. That knowledge, IMO, applies just as well to the more "spirited" driving.

That second part was just extra opinion for whomever. You double-clutch into a rolling first so we're pretty much on the same page.

I have fewer than 2000 miles on my Subarota. In that time, though, I've noticed it shares some transmission quirks with my '06 F150 DD. The most notable is, it does NOT like to be forced into a shift. If I'm sitting at a light with the truck in neutral and the light turns green, a quick stab on the clutch pedal and a shove of the shifter into first will yield exactly nothing. It will simply NOT shift into first. On the other hand, a gentle push of the lever leaving time for the various parts to do what they are supposed to do results in a smooth engagement of the gear.

My particular BRZ is very similar. It responds very well to a gentle, but firm, hand on the shifter. Give it a little time. Sometimes the fastest way to get something done is to slow down a little.

I can see how it's easy for the casual reader to misunderstand my reply to JoeC. I am not advocating for pausing between first and second. I was explaining how to create the condition that causes people to have trouble shifting into second when it's cold.


Different techniques yield different results because physics.
