I just got my new TR-8 last week and it has a few issues. The one that concerns me the most is when I shift gears, the rear end seems to wiggle some. Any ideas on what would cause that?

I'm not all that familiar with the TR8, but any sort of "wiggle" during shifting usually indicates a badly worn bushing and/or a very weak/rusted/broken suspension mount somewhere. I would have that whole area checked out ASAP!

Well, I found the problem, it was some badly worn trailing arm bushings. Cganged those out but still have some work to do before I test drive it. Rear shocks etc.
