Ok, first I’m new to the M Coupe family. I just love this car! I have been driving it for a few months now, but I still am having problems with the shift points. I drive the car in everyday traffic daily. I find that when I shift less agressivly I have no trouble with “Lurching”, but when I want to step on it I find that my techn. Is less than adequate. I am getting lots of lurching. Does anyone have so shift point advise for a newbee? Is it needed to "blip" the gas between shifts? I accelerate in first till about red line the depress the clutch and release the gas. I "blip" the gas (tring to match RPM) and release the clutch rather quickly. This produces lurch. I have tried to let the clutch out slower, but I am concerned with wear and tear on the clutch. Help.
