Jerking as in the car is jerking, or the shifter?
Car jerking (forward/backward) would probably be that you're letting the clutch out too quickly or at the wrong speed. It takes some time to get used to a new clutch/transmission setup, so I wouldn't worry about this.
Car jerking (side to side) could mean you're accelerating too hard coming into the gear and causing torque steer, or it could be a misalignment problem (should be corrected by the dealer because it's so new).
Shifter jerking could be that you're "forcing" it or not dropping the clutch pedal low enough. Again, this is more of an issue of getting used to the setup of the car. One thing I do know about shifter jerking in this car... don't try to push or ram the car into gear. Let it "float" into gear. I get the smoothest shifts shifting, literally, with one or two fingers.
