ok i'm not sure if what i'm doing is 'helping' the srm or not, but i'm not sure why my shifts aren't smooth. When its on, and i upshift lets say from 2-3, it doesn't let the revs below what they need to be for 3rd gear at a given speed. should that mean i let the clutch out quickly, or with a little finesse at the end. i feel like if i give it a little gas as i re-engage the clutch, which is what i would normally do, it becomes jerky. so basically what i'm asking is this:

If SRM is on and i upshift, do i let the clutch out slowly or quickly, and should i give it any gas before the clutch is fullly re-engaged?

Also, when i downshift with SRM on, should i let the clutch out slowly or quickly? should i give it any gas or not until the clutch is full re-engaged?
