Here goes... I have a 6 speed stick, changing gears smoothly is hard, I always make it kinda jump... any suggestions??? I have never had this problem before. Also I was checking my oil yesterday, and the oil stick didn't have a "dumb a**" line, how will I know when to add oil.. and well, I guess that's all for now. Any help would be great!!!  |

I drove Drifthappy's and it shifted smooth as butter, I'm not quite sure what would be causing that issue, if it's normally not a concern for you.

To smooth your shifts out, let off the gas when you shift but keep your foot lightly on the pedal. Let the rpms drop to 2-3k before letting out on the clutch. This should smooth it up quite a bit. There are a lot of techniques. You will just have to figure out the one that works best for you.
As for the oil, There are 2 marks on the dipstick. One is for high and the other is low. Anything in between is fine. When the oil falls below the low mark, it takes approx. 1 qt of oil to get back to the high mark. If your oil gets low, a buzzer goes off in the car telling you to add some. As long as you are somewhere between the 2 marks you are fine. I just check mine once a month and add about 1/4 qt.
