I just changed a clutch on a 93 accord. and every time I start off in 1st or go in reverse. the car studders then smooths out. and when i shift into 2nd gear it does it a little bit. what could cause this problem?

Sounds like a misfire. Misfires are not located in the transmission though. Double check all electrical connections you took apart when you did the clutch. Double check distributor and plug wires.

I didn't even touch the distributor at all. or the electrical connections to it. but I will check them all out and let you know. thanks Ryan!

I checked them and replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor. I changed all those because the components were bad. But the problem is still there. one of the wires were corroded. its like a vibration when I first start driving the car.

could the flywheel be bad to cause this problem?

when you say studders, are you referring to a studder in engine response or are you talking about chatter created by a clutch?

studder as in engine response. I just changed the clutch. when I let off the clutch pedal and press the accelerator I can feel and hear the dash vibrate.
