cuz your application of clutch and gas is out of proportion. Either your letting your clutch out to fast or your applying to much gas which causes your engine revs to dictate a higher speed than your car is traveling when you let out your clutch, thus causing your to jerk.
you just need to practice more and pay attention to how fast your releasing your clutch and how much gas your giving it as you switch gears. sometimes reeving the engine a little higher before shifting can help too. Just be careful that you don't let the clutch out too slowly because doing so repetitively can damage the clutch and cause premature failure.
If your really new at driving stick try asking someone you know that is good at shifting to show you how and pay attention to when they shift and how much gas they give it as they shift.
Good luck

the only solution that you can affect at home is to check fluid level, and change the fluid and filter this should be done about every 30,000 miles, all other issues need to be dealt with by a reputable transmission specialist.
Signs of transmission problem?
Some of the early signs of transmission trouble will be gear slipping (this is usually felt as a jerk of the car when it changes gears), or loud engine "reving" as it start to take off. Some transmissions fail in the top gears which means that you wont be able to get to your top speed.
Why does your car jerk when you let off gas after shifting?
Its normal for most manual cars the clutch is basically shifting gears in the engine but if you are accelrating shifting gears higher it could jerk a little bit so it can lock the gear and preset the engine to the desired gear Now if this is an automatic here you are not hitting the brake pedal fully Transmission fluid is low or empty Or it can be just old so it can jerk a bit to get into gear... however it is potentially bad for an automatic car because it has more parts and the thing it would do the most harm to is the gearbox.
