Default Well I have a problem

When I first take off in the morning, the car is a 91' Honda Accord LX 5-Speed, the car takes off hard, it jumps. I have been driving standards for a while and I don't have this problem in other vehicles. I can get the RPMS up to about 2000 and then the car starts to jumps like it doesn't want to go. I heard somewhere that it was a bearing that isn't smooth anymore but that doesn't seem right. If it helps for determinaing the problem, both cv shafts will need to be changed, but the car drives fine once it gets going, it shifts into gear without problem. Any ideas why it does it would be appreciated, Thanx.

Replace the CV joints and if it isn't them or the clutch it could also be something in your suspension that is loose/warn out. Worn or soft radius rod bushings will cause the wheels to hop under load. The 91 Accords weren't exactly built to spring off the line under full throttle.

How would I check to see if it is a aftermarket unsprung clutch.

The car was lowered 2" before I bought it and it never hopped before. And where are the rod bushings, Pictures would help, Thanxs. I did notice that by both front tires there is something that is dry rotted. Please give me things to check.

Any suspension bushings that are dry rotted and cracked should be replaced.

Is there a special way to make a clutch warm up faster, would pumping the clutch warm it up?

Ok so the other day I checked the clucth fluid and it was below the low line so I added some brake fluid, now it doesnt jump. Was it just low. When I looked inside the car by the clutch the "plunger like thing" has some fluid leaking from it. Is that where i'm loosing fluid?
