Driveline slop
My RX8 has 77000km and I notice excessive driveline slop. Shifting from 1st to 2nd is miserably rough. Are there any common fixes for driveline slop in the rx8? Does anyone make aftermarket motor mounts for the 8?

I do notice a strange "groan" from the clutch pedal. I took a video of it that i'll try to post later. I was thinking of purchasing a clutch pedal reinforcement bracket, and a stainless clutch line to see if it helped.

I ordered the race roots clutch reinforcement and a stainless clutch line. hopefully it helps a little as my clutch engagement is a little unpredictable sometimes. If it doesn't help I might try filling the passenger side motor mount with urethane and/or an engine torque damper.
