Re: Does anyone's car jerk when coming to a stop while in gear? (skunkintegra)
It seems obvious that there is no real solution other than pressing more gas, but are there any alternatives to this? Sometimes I want to go really slowly (ie parking lots) without having the car buck

Put the clutch in so that you're rolling in neutral when at a low RPM. The jerking feeling you're feeling is from the springs in the clutch.

You're just not smooth enough
I can get my car to roll along at idle RPM (700-800 RPM) in 1st gear, so that it just creeps along, w/o jerking.

just let your clutch out to the point where it starts to engage and it'll move you forward slowly without having to use the gas at all. Of course you'll move really slow, but u can just give it a little gas to get you going the speed u want.

but remember, you gotta be real smooth about it, if you open the throttle too sudden it WILL jerk.

Yea, you gotta get used to it at first. One thing you can do, if you have trouble jerking it (no pun intended), is to ride the clutch a little while your trying to barely give it gas & coast in 1st, just so you don't start bucking it. Until you get the feel of it down.
