Actually my mechanic told me there were 16, and one of them had a screwed up gearbox which needed to be replaced completely. About the jumping, that not only happens to me when shifting from 1st to 2nd, but also from 2nd to 3rd. Of course that is only when the car is driven pretty hard, like going above 4000 rpm before shifting. I think the timing of the gear change when the accelerator pedal is released is important here, but I have not managed to figure it out yet... Anyone else have experience to share?
