I have a 52 Reg Civic 1.4i Vision 5 door

When I'm setting off the car will jerk a little, it does this sometimes in second gear too. Also when driving in slow moving traffic in first gear there is a lot of jerking as I let go of the clutch.

Maybe I'm not driving it properly, I used to drive a Clio and that was extremely easy to drive. I'm finding the Civic a little difficult, as this clutch is a lot softer and difficult to get the right balance between clutch and accelerator (if you get what I mean).

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Also I noticed the gear ****ing isn't as it should be. Basically if I'm changing from 1st to 2nd or from 2nd to 3rd I sometimes hear like a pulling sound as I continue to accelerate. I bought the car 2 weeks ago and it has full service history, its been serviced and MOTd recently. The car was fine when I bought it so I suspect it's my careless driving which has caused these issues.

 

as of the car jerking in first when you let off the clutch. My car does it sometimes to and when it does i throw it in 2nd.
