The jerkiness from 1-2 is because he's probably trying to shift fast at lower RPM. In order not to be jerky, you need to shift slower from 1-2 when your RPM are low ( <3K or so). Above 4K and you can shift as fast as you want with no jerkiness. Basically, drive slow -> shift slow, drive fast -> shift fast.
What i don't get is... If your explanation is the solution to jerking sensation when shifting? Then this is the most pointless issue on the forum. Any car shifted at high RPM has torque jerk. Why is this being singled out on the Z??? Clutch feel is definitely more of a performance issue vs so called "jerky-shifting"
