I think that when people say that the car makes you a better driver they meant it's handling and somewhat low power that will force you to make less mistakes with your cornering trajectory. Whereas on a higher power car those mistakes are less obvious. I can't see how jerky transmission will make anyone a better driver. You can learn precise rev matching on downshifting, but you don't need a jerky transmission for that. Surprisingly, on downshifting my car was very smooth regardless of gear. Even shifting to 1st while moving was smooth. It's just that 1st to 2nd upshift that was jerky sometimes. Also, it was way worse when I had that clutch spring on. After I removed it, shifting feel somewhat improved.
