I think I'm Shifting Wrong

That or I'm still just on the gas a little too late/early.

I'll test the +3500 theory. I like to short shift a bit and see if it helps me save fuel (it doesn't, because I'm not consistent with it when the freeway/roads open up...

)

YES it does keep the RPMs up for a bit, i verifyed that with dealer, its how it works again if you're shifting below 3500 it will give you a jerk forward SO what i do is wait an extra second after i push the clutch in then its smooth as butter. So to me it seems that there are 2 ways to drive this car, fast and slow. When driving fast and shifting above 3500rpms its goign to shift fine no jerking, if you're driving slow then you need to give i an extra second between shifts.

So when im in high speeds, when I press the clutch I should shift right away so I shift in high RPM's, but when im going slow I should wait a second to shift?

This is what I got from that

its what i do...to reduce the jerk forward caused by SRM on lower RPMs
