If you use the jake to change gears you need a good smack!

Gunna have to disagree here. If you do it properly you can change with your fingertips.
A good guideline to if you are changing gear/accelerating properly is watch your passenger. If they rock backwards or forwards more than a few inches (showing my age here!) it aint smooth enough.
