in first gear at very low speeds, the slightest change in pressure on the gas will cause the car to change speeds, causing it to jerk back and forth. do your best to keep the gas steady when going really slow in first gear. I dont know if you noticed, but in any gear, if you let go off the gas, you feel the car start slowing immediately, same thing happens in first at low speeds, but you're going so slow that its way more noticeable

you have to adjust your driving to the car, because its not going to adjust to you. If it jerks when you do 'x' then don't do 'x' the same way. it can be tricky, but you'll get the hang of it. just keep an open mind when your driving. the car is a machine, it doesnt have an opinion, it will respond the exact same way every time, so if you do something wrong, it will always respond harshly, if you do it right, it will respond perfectly.
