It doesn't jerk excessively hard, per se, it's just much easier to jerk than other cars as a result of the crappy stock clutch operation.

Like, stock for stock, my 5.0 was way smoother. Much better clutch operation and therefore way harder to jerk. The Z, however, can be jerked so hard and so easily if you aren't uber careful with the stock helper spring. With it removed, however, it shifts like the Mustang. Smooth and harder to jerk.

Maybe it's just me, but I kinda like the jerky 1-2 feeling.

You must be a serial jerker.

Pulled or jerked should be the real question in this thread now...

I think the proper term is "tug" or "tugged." Do you prefer tugged or jerked?

Tugging seems a bit more gentile than jerking.

If all our helper springs are removed, will it be a circle tug?

JungleZ · 06-25-2013, 01:16 PM

I will challenge anyone here that I can shift quicker than you

UNKNOWN_370 · 06-25-2013, 01:20 PM

I rather jerk mine than tug anyday.

Well, since I can't use the mouse with my left hand, I guess the decision was made for me.
