However the cable clutches of some of the older civics made for jack rabbit starts until you worked the clutch in so look for one with a hydraulic clutch like the Integras or make sure the cable clutch hasn't been recently adjusted (when adjusted, you spend a few days or so with jack rabbit starts). Just keep in mind that there's no way to tell how much clutch you have left on a hydraulic clutch so if you're buying a used one, ask when was the clutch plate replaced (hopefully it won't be too long ago), it might be wise to just go ahead and replace it every 100,000 miles or so just to avoid the experience of shifting without a clutch (you need a bionic arm to get it into gear). Cable clutches can have their wear estimated by a good mechanic and when they fail, the clutch slips so it's not as worrisome as a failed hydraulic clutch.
