since your grammar was not on point on this statement, I will count it as invalid.

stop dumping the clutch from first to second

Is your style of driving different now? Is this new since it came out of the shop?

Ok the first time it did happen while I was turning, I was shifting while turning and a high speed (High Speed for turns)

The other times I was going in a straight line, I feel like sometimes I take the clutch off too fast like not slowly, I just take my foot off really fast, Could that be the problem?

YES... Are you also keeping the gas pedal to the floor?

Not to the floor, but I can see myself accelerating while taking the clutch out really fast.

You should be in the proper gear before the turn. As for the straight line, I usually let out the clutch gently when shift from 1st to 2nd. But then again, people will call you granny tho.

Brother, slow it down until you get the hang of it, and since the clutch pedal has NO FEEL, you need to take it even slower


The pedals need to "work against each other" if that makes any sense, one goes in the other comes out, usually at the same rate
Again the pedal has NO FEEL, so you need to really get a sense and KNOW where the clutch engages
