you're not alone, i used to get frustrated with this before and there are other topics on this issue. Some people say to shift at a higher rpm maybe from 3k-4k or just turn srm off. Normally if i want a guaranteed smooth shift i just shift slower at low rpms going from 1st to 2nd gear. just have to be gentle and not shift like your racing. This is my first manual car so please don't flame me if im wrong. If you pay attention to the gauges that thump/jerk is when you let go of the clutch too fast without putting enough gas and the srm drops the rpm to the correct range. All in all, just shift at a lower rpm from 1st to 2nd, hope this helps.
