your transmission wears after time, try getting a fluid change, use fluid made for older cars this should help slow down wear and make the jerk much less noticeable

What could be the reason of noise produce when shifting gears and clutch release?

== == If the noise occurs while shifting gears, the gear shift shaft underneath the car could be tapping on the exhaust. This problem is caused by a shifter that has too much play. To fix this, there is a rubber clasp holding the shaft in place, buy a new rubber clasp if the one you have is worn and loose. This is the solution I have found. If the noise occurs while clutch is released, well, then your're on your own!
