I dont exactly know how to explain this, but the car seems to lurch forward sometimes when the clutch is slipped during shifts. This would happen usually in the rpm range of 1.75-3grand.

Its not just one lurch, its a series of lurches until the clutch finally grabs. or at least thats what it seems like. And its not consistent, it'll happen sometimes, and other times it wont, but usually involves the first two or three gears.

is it just my shitty shifting? i've never had this problem with any other vehicle.

its a late 2007 model that doesn't fall under the clutch issue recall.

 

Sounds like to me your not driving it smooth enough, low RPM shift can easily cause the car to lurch and buck.
