a/c and rough shifts?
During normal driving without the a/c on, all my shifts are smooth when letting the clutch out after gear changes. But when I have the a/c on I notice when shifting into 2nd or 3rd, then letting the clutch out pretty slow it feels like downshifting without rev matching and feeling the car jerk. Is that normal when the a/c is on? Anyone experience this?

Just have to take your time and make sure you dont lose to many RPM's.....The AC adds more load to the engine so it causes the RPM's to drop a lil faster then normal. SO just plan for it

I noticed the exact same thing. I have to put the A/VC on because my daughter gets all flushed in the face and hot if I just roll down the windows when its 95+ outside. Starting from a red light is the worst. It seems i need to give it a little more gas to get going.
