    Hi guys,

    Sister bought an 02 Honda civic saloon a few weeks ago and its giving a juddering sensation when she puts it into 2nd gear, its only second gear that seems too be the problem and only occurs for a few seconds, any ideas what it could be? Shes concerned she may need a new clutch!

    She could be right i'd say. Does she put the boot down much when she puts it into 2nd? What if she puts it into 1st or 3rd and puts the boot down all the way to the red line?

    I'm no expert but if it were the clutch I would expect it to have difficulty getting into any gear or the revs jumping in gear as it slips.

    Is there any noise from the gearbox? The bearing on the gearbox of that particular Civic model is well known to give problems.

    Had a spin in it and didnt really here anything of note coming from it, now i did think it was a little underpowered when it is in second gear, not sure if thats related too what you say bazz
