I am increasingly worried about the future of the car guy.
Seems like we are a dying breed fellas.

Just a question. Since Im more used to riding a manual motorcycle. When I shift on my bike, I apply a little throttle while releasing the clutch to smooth out the shift and prevent engine braking/jerking, but when driving a stick and i try this it jerks even more than if i didn't apply any throttle at all. am i doing something wrong? don't flame me for being a noob

I'll flame you because that was a statement... not a question.

All I have to say is use your head and practice. If you keep a level head and use common sense while learning to properly operate your manual transmission, the worst damage you will do is reduce the life of your clutch.

trying blipping the throttle quickly instead of slowly applying a little throttle...
