Most of the time I can do this, but sometimes when I roll up to a stop and try and bump, the engine jerks back and forth before catching.

I am usually almost at a stop and use 3rd gear. If I go any lower, the rear tires chirp.

One thing that seems to help is having the A/C on, automatic idle boost to 1500rpm...
