1. shift faster. You only feather the clutch in 1st. Other gears, it's just clutch, shift and release clutch.
2. 1st gear about 3k rpm. 35-45mph 4th or 5th depending on if I need to accelerate or constant speed. Partial throttle saves a lot of gas.
3. Brake in gear, when I am going under 15mph I usually put it in neutral.
4. No, but if you feather it while trying to accelerate you are.

If it jerks you forward, you are shifting too slow or not giving enough gas.
If it jerks you backwards, you are shifting too fast or giving too much gas.
