Car Jump!!!

Let me start this off by saying that i've searched and searched and found nothing. To the point... My car feels like it jumps every time i switch gears. It's extremely annoying. This doesn't happen much when I'm going into 4th or 5th. I need help on this asap... Anyone?

Could it just be the synchronization of pushing the clutch petal in abd pulling it out of gear? Sometimes when i get lazy shifting ill start to pull it out of gear before the clutch is fully disengaged and it will feel like its jumping a little bit? Evos seem to be more picky about the way you shift that most other cars...maybe its because of the awd?

If you are not pulling it out of gear prematurely, then try adjusting your pedal to make 100% sure that the clutch is disengaging

This sounds to me like your letting go of the clutch too fast. It's pretty high, so it takes some getting used to.

It felt alright when I drove it, could be anything though, I'd have someone that works on evos drive it around and see if they notice anything out of the ordinary.

Check that your pipes arent leaking. A boost/vaccuum leak could cause this. When you shift the diverter opens dropping the air back causing a pressure surge (slight) in your intake, could be loosening the couplers. Then when it dumps and you resume in vaccuum, the leak in the intake plumbing could cause a little lean condition before it is corrected and make you jump a little. Happened to me before. gl
