shifting noobie
for all you 06 mt out there. when you shift gears do you hear like a little click sound and the car jerks a little while the clutch is engaging. sometimes i hear it and sometimes i dont. could i be shifting wrong or not giving enough gas? i usually shift at 2500-3000RPMs. where is every1 else shifting at for normal driving?

I try to shift at 3000, if I'm lazy 3500.
I think my clutch shifts smooth sometimes and other times it has quite a collection of sounds.
Let the clutch slip juuuust a little before you release entirely, that'll smooth it out so you dont get a quick jerk. The G's clutch has a much stronger pressure plate than the civics so it grabs harder and faster.
I had a two civic, a toyota Paseo, a civic del sol, acura rsx, girfriend have a toyota echo...
First drive of the g35 coupe I stalled....
The first month I had knee pain to my left leg, finaly found a position with seat to be smoother on my leg..

Yeah. Just practice. It took me a while to adjust after coming from RX-7 with HEAVY clutch that is just so damn hard to drive to G... haha. G was easier to drive but it took me a while to be smooth.
