Goal: I want to shift fast without getting jerks. but the clutch always either pulls unless i give it gas. and if i give it gas release clutch fast and shift I get a ROCK sensation rather than jerks. almost like i was trying to drive it hard but it wanted to engage at a higher RPM but im driving slow.
I think you're sweating it too much but that said. Have you adjusted the clutch pedal? (see this post) and I noticed that my fast shifts smoothed out once I installed the Perrin crank pulley.
