Rep Power: 304

ok, i think some people here have mentioned it before for our civics but i want to get to the bottom of this question.
i have an '02 civic EX, manual transmission.
sometimes (more when its warm out) when i let off the clutch and start to move, the car would shake just when i'm almost completely off the clutch. its kinda hard to explain but sorta feels like the car is jerking and the clutch wont engage smoothly. or i could also describe my problem as if the car was doing mini launches (like jerk, jerk, jerk). my clutch isnt slipping or anything and happens sometimes, not always. sorry but thats the best that i could explain the problem.
does anyone know what the problem is or if its warranty related??? thanks for your input.

i honestly dont think thats the problem. i dont drive hard on my car and it only has 23,xxx miles on it. anyone else have suggestions?

Maybe your syncronizations in your tranny are a little off.

thats normal for it to shake when almost off the clutch. every car does that.

the engine needs gas...it's on the verge of stalling, it shakes, give it gas a little earlier.

have you not learned the clutch point yet?

i know for a fact that its not the gas problem. i give it enough gas. i could keep the engine running at 1500 or 2000 RPM and it'll still shake.

and i defiately know its not normal because the shake isnt subtle its pretty noticeable. my friend has the same car as me and his car doesnt do the same thing.

trust me its normal. every single manual car i have driven has done that. you will feel the pedal shaking and in turn it will shake your leg and you can feel the whole car shake. it is normal

I get that once in a while during cooler mornings here... it's normal. I just give it more gas at the friction point and it stops doing that.

(never happens when it's warm )

i own a new 2004 and it does shake wen its at low rpms but its all normal, just give it a lil more gas. either that or your letting off the clutch to fast.

I GIVE IT ENOUGH GAS!!! i can keep the RPMs at 2000 and it will still do that. i know how to drive stick, believe me, and i ease the clutch in. it doesnt happen to me in cold weather but when its warm or hot out. i think what you guys are refering to is "clutch chatter."

that happens to me after I drive pretty hard...... no matter what RPM I engage it in, it will jump right before the clutch is fully engaged. but it goes away eventually

yeah, i think you and me both have the same problem, but it doesnt necessairly come when i drive hard, i could drive normal and it will happen. so is this a problem or what??? do you know whats causing it?
