yes this is the SRM doing its thing. as you're shifting the revs are being held in place, so in low gears where the difference in RPM is greatest, you'll have a jerky shift if you try to shift quickly. unless of course you're on the throttle. as others have said...if you rev high, that manual shifts silky smooth! otherwise with SRM on, you need to hold the clutch in for an extra second or so in order for that rev to fall

This is the only aspect of SRM that bugs me. The system should be smart enough to drop the revs if you've released the clutch (thus clearly not planning to downshift).

I've been wondering about this lately, whether it is an SRM thing or a clutch thing. I still have not been able to get perfectly smooth FAST upshifts. It's perfectly smooth if you wait for the rpms to drop and then ease out the clutch slowly, but I haven't figured out the secret for smoothing out faster shifts.
