I have been driving shift for just over a year without any instruction really so I think I maybe missing something.

Whenever I have a passenger I notice their body gets pushed forward whenever I put the car from 1st into 2nd gear. What am I doing wrong? :)

I normally just take my foot of the gas pedal, and then push the clutch, and then release and go back on the gas pedal i.e. no rev matching

Any tips on how to make this smoother?
