V6 Maunual Shifting issue

[slantflat]

My car shifts smoothly, but between 1st and 2nd, when I let out the clutch the motor feels like it stops firing for a split second. It has a huge flat spot that makes the whole car buck. It will also do it between 2nd and 3rd. Doesn't matter what RPM I'm at.

The dealer tried to tell me I just didn't know how to drive the car. I've been driving a stick shift car for over 25 years I know it isn't me.

My VIN is 50xxx and I have about 400 miles on the car. Can I expect the tough shifting to develop and will my bucking and kicking stop with more miles?

Had this problem also. I also have been driving manual transmisions for over 25 years. Now that my car has almost 5000 miles, my shifts in the lower gears are less jerky. Maybe the has clutch settled in more and I have learned to match revs to the next gear better. Don't know why this car gave me so much problem getting used to it. But things are with more miles.

As far as shifting gear to gear, no problems. But sometimes a little knotchy from 1st to 2nd.

For normal driving, there is no problem. For "spirited" driving, it's clunky getting into second, and by the time it is in, I've lost the initial momentum.
