Dealership issue

^sounds more like, move feet faster/earlier or slow down the hand. many drivers step on the clutch and move the shifter at the same time. When it takes longer for the clutch/foot to move 10-12 inches than it does for the hand to move 6 inches.

The clutch pedal on the brz has a significantly longer engagement point than many other cars too, so easy to move the stick too fast for the pedal. Probably even more so if you've had a lot of experience driving stick.

I've found it best to just slam the shifter into whatever gear your hear desires. Ignore the crunchy noises. That just means you are doing it right.

Maybe on some cases, but in my case the clutch is on the floor and the revs are matched to where they will fall at 5th gear, yet CRRRRRUNCH goes the shift. If I wait any longer I might as well coast in neutral until the car is going slow enough to shift smoothly
