Default Jerking when slowing down then going into 3rd

I am slowing down to make a left at the light,i put it in 3rd and press the gas gently....the car jerks, then i push back the clutch to go away and try again and its little better.

Any ideas?

Either letting off the clutch too fast once the shifter is into 3rd gear or something wrong with the syncros in tranny. Just my thoughts. Anyone else?

Letting the clutch go toooo slowww can also cause jerking its all about good clutch/gas timing.

Try a lower gear... you shouldn't be using 3rd gear on a turn like that. Or, just trade it for an A/T.

You should never FAP before 4th or 5th gear, that way if you have crash, you'll likely die and ppl will just think the forces in the wreck tore your pants away... anything slower and your cell phone might not get smashed eithe. There is nothing more awkward than surviving a FAPcrash with midget pr0n streaming on your phone. Jerking going into 3rd is for 17 year olds with Z's...

i thought the same thing.
I tried it once before too, but its super hard to concentrate on the FAPpping instead of oncomming traffic.

BTW.. is your slip light comming on at all during your "Jerking sessions".. do you have aftermarket wheels and tires? If your light is comming on during said "jerking" and your rear tires are the same or smaller than your fronts, theres your issue. VDC.. search the topic.

and no we wont exit the thread. you dont own the place brah. Sorry.

what are the revs at when the clutch engages? have you tried blipping the throttle on the downshift? Unlikely, but have you checked you don't have a broken engine mount? Is it just in this gear, or in all gears when downshifting? the more info you provide the easier it will be to help diagnose.

thanks for the great input....

its in the lower rpms....so maybe i am choosing the wrong gear, but i'm doing the exact thing i've done in the past with a previous 07.

Are the 07s still under the 5/60?
