I have the 115HDI. I find that when accelerating hard the car jerks as I change gears. Not sure if I'm not giving enough gas before and after the gear change? But it doesn't seem very smooth. Usually change at 3000-3500rpm. Is that right for the diesel? Torque is pretty good. Especially impressive 0-30 from 1st to 2nd gear. Must hit 30mph within a second!

Sounds like your dropping the clutch to fast when changing gear -
Agreed. Trying lifting the clutch more slowly to allow better transfer.Bigfeet's File Repository...I should never have doubted the Lord of Bacon!!

only other thing it could be is a loose or broken engine/gearbox mount, but as you have said chaging gear when hard accelerating then the clutch sounds like it is enagaging to quickly.Comment

I suppose another point is that hard accelerating and smooth gear changes don't normally live on the same sentence...

Timing chain and tensioner... maybe pre-detonation
