When I start out like normal driving. If I don't rev to abot 1800 to 2000 rpm my engine will studder and shake. Kind of feels like wheel hop. So I took it to the dealership and they drove it and they said that is where you have to rev it inorder to have a smooth start.Does any of this sond normal????

I have a 00' Civic Si

 

my 96 ex does the same thing but i have a bad rear motor mount

 

If I just start out at 2000 rpm will it hurt the clutgh all that bad?

 

look for a vacuum leak

 

I'll do that.Do you think it will hurt the clutch real bad ubtil I find the problem?

 

Sounds like clutch chatter to me. Does it do it if you dont give it any gas and just slowly let up clutch, like you would if you were creeping in traffic ??....3gdude

 

Will starting out a 2000 rpm hurt the clutch real bad?

 

check your spark plugs,and then the distributor ,could be a loose wire in it so look inside it
