This has happened a few times from a stop. Put the stick all the way to the left let go of the clutch and it jumpy. They redo 1st and sometimes it fixes it sometimes not. Since I drive mostly in sport it happens when in that mode. Anyone know??

Sport mode modifies the engine mapping and makes the throttle very sensitive. I have had the same thing happen to me. You can't jump on it in first gear (or at least I can't) without it getting crazy. A smooth clutch engagement and brisk acceleration works better in 1st gear than just nailing it. After you are moving there should be no more problems.

Its more like I let of the clutch and the car jerk back and forth no matter how much gas I give it.
