1st as well as 2nd gear are pretty "low"...designed for easy getaway if you have two up or extra weight or are sitting on an incline..or weaving around in heavy traffic or all of the above....it is just harder to sync second with third if you rev to high in second....so you get the jerk unless you rev match and/or are smooth in your clutch release to third gear .....my thought.......It seems 2nd gear is little jerky as in if i let go of the gas it jerks my whole body forward. i dont recall this in 1st and 1st would be understandable. the speed is between 20 and 30km per hour. anyone experienced this?
