Hey everyone, I've been looking at these forums for a while now but just now signed up. Anyways, I have an '05 5spd TC. I learned to drive stick on this TC and I've been good at it for over a year now but when I press the clutch in or shift everything seems so smooth. I have <10,000 miles on the car but do things "loosen up" or am I just better at driving now or is it just my imagination? This site is awesome btw.

 

Any and every new 5 speed will be a little jerky at first because of the brand new clutch. You probable have also gotten better over the past year. Over time your clutch will break in and feel more "smooth". Hell, I used to be able to chirp third stock, now I cant with an AW header and CAI, I miss that new clutch feeling!
