No reason 2 - 3 shift should be sloppy in this car,

compared to my 370z tranny the FT86 feels closer to my s2000 shifting wise, all the shifts are precis and I can feel the gate on each gear, except 6th which feels sloppy.
Yup I ordered motul 300 yesterday so that should be here soon

The only manual I've driven extensively was my 350z. That gearbox, from what I can remember (it's been a few years), wasn't the greatest. I think 5th gear would occasionally grind.

I should be in a FRS sometime shortly, if I can't get a trade on my 370, carmax offered me a sweet deal I might take to the bank and get me a nice lightly used 6 speed.
