Genius......

Does it only do it from 1st to 2nd?
If you change gear higher up the rev range does it still do it?

M8 when i firt had my vtr it was jumping but i changed the timing belt and water pump and now its stopped and never happens. maybe worth changing the timing belt as it worked for me.

Thats a fair comment mate but alot to ask as it could cost an arm & a leg :y:.

Personally if your new to driving it could be down to learning the car, In my opinion it taktes a good 6 - 12 months to get used to a car. Without sounding harsh as i dont mean to but the 1.0 is very underpowered and you may find the car struggles sometimes, but i would say your taking your foot off the clutch too quick :y:
