I had been wanting to add some boost to my civic but I have decided against doing any type of FI on the car and I want to sell it now. However, I am a very honest person and I don't want to sell someone a car that has any type of problem, minor or major without their knowledge of it. I've noticed that from time to time within the last 6 months, my '96 civic 5spd clutch will (shudder/shake the whole car) slightly when taking off from a dead stop(1st gear). However, after 10 or 15 minutes it will go away completely. Its like everything is completely fine. My question is does anyone know if the clutch is going out or if its condensation on the flywheel maybe causing slip temporarily?? I've heard subaru's had the condensation problems in the '02 i believe. The car has 156k miles on it and hasn't been driven hard at all. TIA.

Did it this morning first thing but went away. Then at lunchtime I went out and it didn't do it at all. anyone?

 

Disc might have ruptured, could be worn down to almost nothing. When rivets hit flywheel that can do that.

 

Sounds like you're letting out the clutch too much and not enough gas, or what slowcivic2k said.
