I am positive that changing out the transmission oil will make a difference to the shifting effort.
A few months ago, a co-worker and I were talking about this. They accidentally used the wrong transmission oil in their race car, and got much notchier gearshifts until they swapped the oil out for something OEM-spec. In most cases, it`s best to stick with the same transmission oil that is recommended by the manufacturer for this reason.
In the case of the FR-S or BR-Z, however, maybe not.
