Hello everyone, Civic 8th gen Sedan 1.8 6MT (European), at 80k miles i have a problem since I bought it 2-3 years ago. When you accelerate from low speed or from standstill position on low gears 1 and 2, the car stalls and (heavily) judders for 2 secs when you leave the clutch pedal then continues normal. It happens on both gears 1 and 2. This generally happens when the car is still cold (but weather hot/cold doesnt matter) and when you drive uphill. It does not feel like clutch dragging but rather mechanical however I am not sure. Last summer I cleaned the throttle and EGR, also tried with EGR unplugged. This happens only sometimes, this is one of the reasons that I cannot relate it to clutch dragging. Idle relearn also has been done. The results were the same. I have seen some topics on some forums but could not see that anyone really found out what it could be. Has anyone faced similar issue?
I’ve seen cases where a vibration/judder occurred in low gears when a throw-out-bearing was worn.

but wouldnt this happen all the time in that case? i have this issue but does not happen each and every time
When a part wears out, how it will operate can become unpredictable..
