so my 97ex coupe is having some trouble when i first get her going. I pull out from the first 2 or 3 stops in first and the clutch has some trouble grabbing and jerks pretty significantly. Once things are warmed up no problems at all. no jerking from stops and no slipping at all in any gear.

Also when still cold and jerking... once i am moving i notice no slipping at all.

This just happens when i pull out in first gear and am engaging the clutch. then stops completely after 5 min or so.

Is this a sign my clutch is going or do I simply need to make some adjustments

thnx

you probably have 1 or more of the springs in the disc about to pop out.

gotcha, so im assuming there arent any tricks to prolonging taking it apart as i'd like to just get a few more bucks and do a swap if i have to start taking **** apart. for now i've just been trying to be very easy on it but not seeming to matter much as its gotten worse.

how much damage will it cause if i just drive it till it breaks

mine did it for a few years until i decided to change it since i had the engine out anyways. it's kind of a roll of the dice really.

You clutch is on the way out, happened to my 96 Civic, changed the clutch and went away.
