    Hi,
    I just bought a Standard 98 Honda Civic with 72,000km. The first gear
    seems to run high. It's not a smooth and gradual acceleration. It seems to
    engage at high rpm's immediately. Is this normal on Honda
    Civic's? I used to have a Standard Toyota
    Corrolla and I remember the first gear being very smooth with a gradual
    acceleration.

    I also, have a problem with the gas pedal. It's very rough. Initially I need
    to press hard on the pedal to accelerate. I read somewhere that it might be
    a dirty throttle rod .

    Thanks in advance for any help
