Almost every time that I shift in my car it is not "perfect" I guess you can say. I think I am having a hard time finding the "sweet" spot. :confused: I have never had this problem before but once I got the Viper it seems to happen. First it only happens in gears 1, 2, 3, and rarely 4. What happens is the car just jerks a little bit. :( I know I am not releasing the clutch to early or to roughly but it still seems to happen. :confused: Also when shifting I get this little noise near the rear of the car. I do not know how to describe it but it happens ALL THE TIME. I have not shifted once and it has not been there. Is ANY of this normal? :(

Thanks for everything :)

Practice makes better! A new factory clutch will help in some cases. I have B&M short throw shifters on both of my cars. Shift with authority and muscle not will and grace.

i too had some jerky shifts.. my buddy FinalGTS
recommended that i shift at higher RPM's to make the shifts smoother.
and as usual he was 100% correct.
