MT Shifting

All,

I'm coming from 350Z in which I absolutely hate the manual transmission shifting. I like the car, but the tranny is a huge let down. I consider the Honda S2000 one of the best transmissions out there. I know it might not be that good, but overall how would you rate the manual for these cars?

Having a car with a good manual transmission is very important to me.

Thanks everyone,

The manual transmission in the BRZ/FR-S is very similar to the AZ6 that is in the S2000.

on a scale of 1-10, 10 being perfect. I would rate the manual transmission of the FR-S/BRZ a solid 9.2. A.K.A. near perfect.
