I eventually learned to be a little easier when letting my foot off of the clutch, but it still seems to jerk a bit after shifting. Is this normal for these cars? Would adjusting my clutch help with this at all?

Would adjusting my clutch help with this at all? how many miles are on the clutch/car? Sometimes its a driver related error, My tour has 130K miles on the stock clutch, the TOB is starting to die, and I know that if im not extremely careful on shifting then I get some bucking going into some gears. 98 Corolla LE 1.8L DOHC 1ZZFE TEIN H.Tech Springs Tokico HP series Struts Short ram air intake Tsudo Axel Back Exhaust ... if a jelly fish stung me.. would you pee on the wound?

I didn't see that, it seems to have lots of clutch left, and seems to only happen going from 1st to 2nd. Not sure if it has anything to do with the throttle hang or the torque of the car. I try to be extra carefull coming off the clutch during this shift, and it still seems a little jerky.

If you let off the clutch just wrong you will get that jerking back and forth. You need to just let off the clutch smoother. 2000 svt contour 1996 oldsmobile eighty-eight
