you mean during a shiftup? if so you're sort of power shifting/dropping the clutch on every gear. quick way to get a shuddering clutch. you'd have to learn to time yourself so that you dont get a lurch during engagement.

if you're chirping on downshifts then you're doing it all wrong!
you'd want to rev match by blipping the throttle and clutch-out gently...otherwise in rain you could lose control of the car~!!
