Welcome to the forum.... the 99 FRC was the first year. Not sure it is rare enough to be worth anything more but nice car just the same.

Welcome to the forum. If you have an aftermarket shifter you may find the the stops on it are not adjusted correctly. Some people adjust them to make the shift pattern shorter. This is not what they are for. If it's a stock shifter you may have problems with the syncro.
