Yea it does get jerky but it seems to depend on RPMS, if you're shifting at 3500+ then its preptty smooth, anything below its jerky. Also i bit of gas in between shifts makes it a big difference.

I felft the same way untill i got a new clutch spring.

Have you noticed a difference in up-shifting with SRM on and off, or is it just me? Seems SRM on will keep the RPMs up for just a second while shifting vs. SRM off.

That or I'm still just on the gas a little too late/early.

I'll test the +3500 theory. I like to short shift a bit and see if it helps me save fuel (it doesn't, because I'm not consistent with it when the freeway/roads open up... :icon17:)

I've heard a lot of people mention the SRM theory, but it doesn't seem to change anything with upshifts in my car. The revs start to drop immediately. At least as far as I can tell.

Right now while driving to work I was at 2000rpms, 20 mph I was turning right and it would not let me go 2nd gear smoothly. So I decided to try 3rd and it let me in just fine. It almost seems like the car is saying "don't shift to second! Go to 3rd!!"

Be careful downshifting in the middle of a turn or forcing it in gear. The last thing you want to do is lock up your tires in the middle of making a turn.

I was actually on first gear! Trying to go to 2nd gear while turning.

Change your fluid then report back. Complaining over and over again everyday isn't gonna solve anything until you actually try something about it......

:eek: harsh words. Don't like it, Don't read it! Plus I wasn't really complaining, I was really looking for advice.


:driving:

I used to drive TransAms with high tourque short shifting was not a problem, this car doesn't like it

YES it does keep the RPMs up for a bit, i verifyed that with dealer, its how it works again if you're shifting below 3500 it will give you a jerk forward SO what i do is wait an extra second after i push the clutch in then its smooth as butter. So to me it seems that there are 2 ways to drive this car, fast and slow. When driving fast and shifting above 3500rpms its goign to shift fine no jerking, if you're driving slow then you need to give i an extra second between shifts.

if you shift very fast on lower RPMs like 2k or so you'll notice a jerk forward

So when im in high speeds, when I press the clutch I should shift right away so I shift in high RPM's, but when im going slow I should wait a second to shift?

This is what I got from that

its what i do...to reduce the jerk forward caused by SRM on lower RPMs

Good, then I'm not going crazy! :icon17:
