Sticky throttle
I just bought a 1987 N/A RX-7 and while driving it home I noticed that when I would shift to a higher gear the engine would rev up a little and then back down. It also jerked a little bit when driving but not when accelerating or decelerating, is this normal? I'd appreciate any info you can give me.

Drive down the road in 4th gear. Take your foot off the gas, then press the clutch. If the RPMs drop without spiking, then Scott is right, its your shifting. Your probably disengaging the clutch before you let off the gas. You suck, get better

The only way I can get it to not do it is if I let off the gas and give a second and then push the clutch in and that's slow so I don't want to do that. My Civic doesn't do it so I know it's not my shifting
