in first gear ive noticed that when letting clutch out slow the car jumps a tiny bit but if i let it out from a roll so i dont have to let it out slow it deosnt jump at all ive also tried putting in second and letting clutch out slow still jumps a little bit i know how to drive stick also is this normal for this car the clutch grabs perfect and shifts perfect in all gears including reverse also car jumps a bit in reverse letting clutch out slowly any one know if this is normal or a problem. thanks.

The clutch friction plate may be glazed over.The clutch friction plate may be worn.This worn plate may be damaging the flywheel.Shifting and all it's movements occur in the gearbox and have little to do with the clutch.A clutch that "grabs" like that is typically a sign of wear.I would inspect the clutch friction plate or verify it's age to determin a course of action.

Could also be the flywheel needing to be replaced or re-surfaced.

Both suggestions above are viable, possible candidates of the problem. Another thing to consider is having your system bled, or your solenoid checked.
