I also have the same problem. After experimenting, I realised that my rpm is too low when i change gears. Pushing to 2,500rpm before changing is generally better in my case.Originally posted by Dr Weevil:My car feels a little jerky, especially when I'm shifting from 1st to 2nd, and 2nd to 3rd. I wonder if I'm not accelerating enough, but I'm worried about burning out the clutch. Any tips for making gear changing smoother?
wah, 3000 is rather high, your consumption must be quite high. i drive a '99 sunny 1.5m, gives me 13.5-14.5km/litre.Originally posted by tripp_4:Hrmm theres bound to be some jerkiness when driving a manual, to slowly release the clutch all the time can be quite a pain.
Usually I change at around 3000, not smooth but acceptable. Anyway my passenger better dun complain hahaha

anyway I think currently the best way to have the smoothes gear change is to be really gentle at the biting point and release slowly to the end...
