Now I am an old fart so I hope I explain this the right way, when merging into traffic from first to second I hit the accelerator to about 5000RPM or so and shift into 2nd and it jerks badly same thing for 2nd to 3rd? Is this normal for the newer Hondas? My Old CRX didn't do this, its like trying to bark a tire in 2nd even though I honestly am not trying to, just to get up to flow of traffic quickly. I have driven a manual all my life so I am not a newbie, took it to the dealer**** and they said it was normal but I don't believe them. If you understand what I am saying if not I will try and clarify it.
