Yup! Everything your going through is what others like us are going through, it just takes some adjustment. Sometimes I like the clutch and drive perfectly smooth, other times I get pissed off and make for a shaky and jerky ride.

How about another topic that's been on my mind...

When you switch gears, do you give it gas when your foot is half way off of the clutch in order to smoothen out the transition? For Example, switching 2nd to 3rd; your in 2nd, you press the clutch and put the gear into 3rd. While doing this you get to the clutch point while giving it gas to smoothen out the transition. Is this right...? I was told that this wastes more gas BUT makes for a smoother ride, correct?

So many questions on my end....
