That's why I shift at like 3-4k rpm's and shift very slowly when I've got a. girls, b. relatives, c. friends that aren't into sports cars or spirited driving, and d. people that suck...haha
Oh...or when the person in my car already seems like they're about to throw up.

Yea, i think they bobble because of inertia, when the car accelerates if pushes them back into the seat and when u shift the acceleration stops thus causing their head to move forward but once u give it the gas again their heads moves back into the seat.

Yes it happens. If you don't like it, buy the maxima with CVT

So I now shift from 1st to 3rd when I have a VIP= "Very Important Passenger".
It's a little smoother and solves the problem.

Isn't that bad for the gears though?

it might wear the synchros slighty more but nothing that will ever have any affect
