It might have something to do with the combination of: - having a longer drive shaft between the transmission and the diff - having shorter / stiffer linkage between the gear shifter and the gearbox itself |

Transmission is smooth, but sometimes the second does not engage. Not sure if a problem or if it is a characteristic.
Coming from a 18 BRZ. |

I will do some testing this weekend and see if I can turn the issue on-off with my inputs (which I suspect is the case). |

I thought that "thunk" felt odd at first too. This brz is my 7th or 8th RWD car, and I don't recall noticing it in other cars. My most recent one being a turbo '99 miata that I sold less then 2 mos ago, so it's not likely something that I just forgot about.

Yes there is a little thunk when its engaging. Also noticed a loud whirring noise when in low rpm and its about to bog.

Thanks, knew I wasn’t going crazy! Also, just about every manual Subaru I’ve ever driven makes a whirring noise. My WRX sounded like it was supercharged after short shifter and bushings. There’s a good amount of rawness in this car that I wasn’t expecting but glad it’s there!

Am definitely noticing something "spin down" when going into 1st at a brief stop, feels like it's actually wobbling the shifter if you go too quickly/aggressively. In other cars WRX, Mazda3 it seemed like it would just prevent you from going into 1st at all in that situation for a beat rather than letting you perceive any movement in the shifter.
