Hello guys,

I picked up a 2009 370z touring with Sport Package 6MT 2 weeks ago and am loving it. I came from a G37 sedan with the buggy 7AT so it has been a huge change. I am still pretty new to driving a manual so please bear with me.

Like the title says, when I try to upshift from 3-4, 4-5 or 5-6, when I engage the clutch and about the shift, I notice the engine RPM jumps up about 500-1000 rpm. So it goes like clutch in - shift 3 to neutral position - RPM jump - neutral position to 4 - clutch out - gas. Is this normal? Or am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks a bunch. Great forum by the way.
