Manual Gearbox Issues In The Is250

[Rap03]

Hi IS250 owners.

I have a new manual IS250 and have found the first 3 gears are a little "clunky".

Is anybody else having a simialr experience with the manuals.

Also, with all the "soundproofing" Lexus say they have added, there seems to be a whimy noise coming out of the gearbox area in the lower gears.

Any comments from other manual owners?

Had the baby in the dealership today and mechanic says the feel on mine is simialr to the other manuals. They will be checking with Lexus to see if any other reports. They can possibly do a config change, but are first checking with Lexus.

I take it, everybody else are driving Autos...
