Maybe you can also tell me why 1 out of every like 4 or 5 1st-2cnd shifts almost break my neck and then the rest are sexay 
That or you may be deep into the RPMs in first and if you're not giving it gas when you get into second you will effectively be "engine braking" which would be a quick acceleration to a deceleration type feeling.
I havn't been out to Skoots in some time, I may show up this week. Feel free to ask questions about the auto-x then.
On a side note: Anybody up for eating at Bone Daddy's instead? I can't stand the skoots food.

You may be letting off the clutch too early if you're shifting very quickly. It shouldn't have the "break neck" feeling (like the pre-warm up rev limit).

If I try to shift really fast I have to let the revs settle or it bucks. Well if I shift fast up to like 4.5. But if I shift at redline or in vtec its perfect

I hope the weather doesn't get too harsh, it was snowing in Gainesville but I don't think it'll get down this way, just light sprinkles and maybe really really light sleet.

Thats what my sophisticated "cool" coat is for.
I was the first one to go top down at the Christmas Party because I'm hardcore.
