Might be obvious, but had to make that clarification just in case.

Wow, I've been driving manuals wrong then. I can't really feel the engagement of my clutch unless I'm barefooted. What I normally do is clutch in, shift up, move clutch to engagement point and add a slide bit of gas while getting go of the clutch. Is this wrong even with using a 1.5l engine and a Honda clutch with a cdv? No matter how smooth I let go of the clutch, it will jerk unless I add some gas.
