when you guys talk about how jerky shifts can cause wear on the drivetrain and tranny, how big are these "jerks" you talk about? is even a slight jerk considered to be harming the drivetrain?
like sometimes when i upshift, i engage the clutch 250 rpm lower than then where its supposed to be at, and the clutch makes the rpm go up 250, causing a slight jerk.

will this kind of slight jerk harm drivetrain? b/c i kind of like shifting jerky, and have been doing so...makes me feel like im driving stick...


or are you guys talking about jerks that really make the driver jump forward.

 

250rpm is very good actually if you can get it that accurate.

Yeah, they are talking about MAJOR jerk. The type that gives your passenger whiplash.

 

I've noticed in the warmer weather we have been having, that I shift A LOT smoother than when its cold - even comparing the car at operating temp. in both situations

 

i have also noticed that when i have the ac on, i think the rpm drops quicker, making my shifts more jerky...

 

please someone close this thread. this is the 4th time he's asking this question. i am just annoyed of people who likes to push "new threads". sheesh.

 

Serious. Enough with the smooth shifting questions dude. If you havent figured it out by now, you never will...

 

Oh no! You resurrected this thread!!!

 

hahaha i had no choice, all i see is this guy asking the same questions. no wonder people get annoyed when someone clicks on new thread before looking for a similar topic in search
