I was like that when I first bought it...you get used to it and now all my shifts are smooth. You will learn how to drive her smoothly within a week. 1st gear has so much power waiting to be released thats what makes the head jerk.

I agree about the gear thing. It takes a while to get used too, its definitely more jumpy than any other clutch I have used. But I drive it very smoothly now, unless im tired

i was thinking that also but i went to upshifting a 370z...thats how i found this site....and why should i have to learn to shift on a 38000 car....ok...you will think i am a troll or something but i test drove a miata and felt no lag or jerk thats why maybe a Z is not the car for me. i want a Fun car that is fast...a miata is fun but not really fast so i want to love the z.....435 for 39 months 0 down

1st to 2nd is a bit tricky at first due to the super heavy flywheel and long clutch pedal engagement. But after a couple days you would be proficient at it.

The shifting is something I got used to...if you want a smoother transition with the shifting you could change the clutch helper spring ^_^
