Due to short gearing?
Does anyone elses car jerk when they completely take their foot off the gas in first or second? In first if I take my foot off it will jerk and when I get back on the gas it will jerk, second same thing, but not as hard. Is it because the gears are so short for first and second? Perhaps there is something wrong with my tranny?

This is normal, and is common on stick-shift cars. Has to do with how the engine reacts under low RPM, load, but not throttle opening (or rather, just idle circuit throttle opening).
Both of my cars (WRX, and the Impala that I converted to a 6-speed manual) do it. And in both cases, just lightly stepping on the gas makes it go away.

Do you guys usually step on the clutch everytime you take your foot off the gas to stop the car and avoid the jerking?

umm yes thats how you drive a manual car. If you are in first at low rpm you clutch in. The only way to not get the jerk is if u let off very gently.
