like kiriller said, shift sooner at like 2k or 2500 rpms and its a lot less noticeable. My friends evo is the same way and it urked the crap out of me. I started shifting sooner and it goes away. Either that or when you shift higher just make sure you keep your foot on the gas a bit too and that helps as well.

Hey, I am kind of a noobie still, but I think there is a plate beneath the shifter that is adjustable. I thought I saw someone mention proper alignment in a thread, specifically for first to second shifts.

When I first got mine I had an issue with the 1-2 being rough and jerking my guts out.
Clutch to neutral, release, clutch to second. Much smoother.
Sometimes I just skip first all together and use 2. You can pull out of 2 almost every time unless your on a very steep hill.
3-2 was bad too until I leaned to heel-toe.

I have the same problem with my clutch. I've only had the car for a week so i'm still somewhat getting used to the clutch but this is the first time i've been so jerky when driving a stick. I have the 06 model and it seems like the rev-up engine's rpm doesn't drop as fast for me. Like when i disengage from 1st gear my rev seems to hang a little bit before dropping and when i re-engage into 2nd i need to wait half a second for the rev to drop so i can engage without a jerk.
Can't tell if it's the car or me, hopefully it's just me and i can get used to it that way i don't have to change anything out on the car. =/
