WTK: Help with Honda

[carman12]

Gents, morning to you.

I currently own a 1997 honda accord with a 2.0ils engine, however, i'm having some problems where while driving during 1st and 2nd gears the gear tends to jerk not while shift i'm talking about actually driving the gear.

I had an A/T before but swapped for a M/T. about 2 months late i started having the problem. I researched and found some info on the throttle body so i had it cleaned helped for awhile then started back but not as rough, thankfully, also i removed the IACV valve and serviced it completely. I have not interfered with the TPS, but i'm wondering if these may be defective. Also i saw a post where they said if the flywheel isn't smooth when the disc is engaged it'll cause abit of jerking however like i said only happens on 1st and 2nd gears (sometimes 3rd - very rare though), but if i press the car to actually get some performance out of it nothing happens.

P.S. Also wondered about the water temperature sensor. I read somewhere they said if it is going defective, it won't show up on the gauge in the cluster however it'll ive an inaccurate reading and cause you to consume more gas, if this is true please help. PM me or reply post...
