I'll agree with everyone saying to ease out at 1500rpm into first and go slow into second. It just takes some getting used to, although I still get caught sometimes and jerk around a bit. Sometimes I just wind out 1st gear up to 5k to make shifting to 2nd easier. Plus it sounds awesome :P |
Seriously if you don't realize that reving your car to red line and dumping the clutch isn't tounge in cheek as a solution for a jerky start then you shouldn't be driving a car! No smilie need on that one.... Can you imagine someone taking that advice seriously? Come on..... Every light doing a massive burn out?
No offense to any of the posters but its pretty basic driving here to get the car to pull away without jerking. Its not the car - its the driver not adjusting to a new vehicle. Once you spend a little time with the car you'll figure out how to use the clutch and shift properly.
