Shifting to a higher gear from a lower gear in my WRX (3300 miles) is very smooth. I believe R&T said "honda like shifting"? My only complaint is shifting into 1st from 2nd is sloppy and inconsistent. Sometimes it feels clean, one smooth motion with almost no resistance. Other times it's several distinct smooth clicks: click 1 - pull shifter all the way left, click 2 - push shifter forward until the synchro engages (I assume that's what's happening), click 3 - mush it all together and release the clutch. I've read a lot about the trannys on these cars and it appears normal, but it's a little annoying and it's taking me a long time to get used to. FTR - I only shift into 1st from 2nd at less than 5mph.
