Hello,

In a search of my next car I test drove few 04-05 6 speed manual TSX's last couple of days. One of them (best price so far) had jerky transmission, I mean it drives well but comparing to other 04-05 TSX it feels jerky. When i switch gears from 1st to 2nd when it grips it gives me few fast back and forth shakes or something ...I know how to drive manual (20 years experience)....Is it something minor or could it be a bad transmission? Owner states it was like that since he bough it 4 years ago and he got used to the clutch so it doesn't do it for him...
Please let me know if I should even consider it...?

My clutch feels like that sometimes, sometimes it is butter so no idea really since it grips like a rock on the 1-3 or 3-6 clutch drops.

However I still believe a cambination of the following would clear it up:
replacement of the clutch/clutch master cylinder/clutch slave cylinder/bleed the clutch lines
