Coolest thing though, is if you shift nice and slow, you can see it work on up shifts.

loos like your friend doesn't know how to drive stick. that "jumping" thing is due to the engine braking that occurs when the clutch engages when engine rpm is too low. It can be very dangerous since it causes severe weight transfer to the front end of the car, and also may lock the rear wheels, and cause snap oversteer and even a spin out.

personally i voted 50/50. sometimes, especially when wearing thick heavy shoes with a thick sole, i use the srm since i cant feel the pedals that well. some other times, i like to have it off so i can practice my rev matching skills
