strange jerking in first gear.. HELP!

I have a 2000 Civic SI. Sometimes when starting to go from a complete stop the car jerks... doesn't feel like its going to stall... almost like its hopping... This is not on the gas hard.... just a normal start..

It only happens in first when the car is warmed up...

Any help would be great!

Thanks

I don't think its the clutch, because it doesn't happen all the time. Usually when the car is warmed up and been driven for a while. Only happens in first gear. Been driving this car since 2000, strange because it only started not too long ago.

I used to have a mis fire and I had the exact same problem. Was like that for about a week and then the CEL came on, I had a mis fire on cylinder 1 and 2, also oxygen sensor...I installed a new oxygen sensor and the problem was gone immediately....

I got the same problem sort of. It only happens when my car has been warmed up for about 5mins but it doesnt happen after. I was thinking it could be my mounts cause theyre gone.
