Default 1st feels like 3rd

So I have 96 civic cx with a d16y7 whenever I'm in first gear it feels very rough to start off. It feels like I'm in 3rd gear and when I'm in 3rd gear it moves a bit quicker. I just put in a new "used" tranny and a brand new clutch before I installed those the car was operating the same as it is now. Anyone have any idea what it can be. Also it sounds like my exhaust is clogged up it sounds like a tractor

Check your mechanical timing. Just a guess based off sound and lack of performance.

Will do. I was thinking it's the timing too but I just wanted other people's advice

<p>Also, check your mounts. &nbsp;Specifically, your two front torque mounts and one rear torque mount. &nbsp;After you've checked those, check your driver side engine mount. &nbsp;Out of curiosity, is this your first standard transmission car?</p>

Ha!! Starting a whole new thread where you claim to have the same issues without taking any suggestions from an another thread you recently started.

Sick move, player.
