Default cold start.

I have a 08 civic 2.0 vtech, and in the mornings when i start is up and its cold and not warmed up yet it tends to jerk forward like the clutch is slipping or something but, i dont know what it is and it only jerks foward when its cold, when it warms up it runs fine

Welcome to the forum,I'm not quite sure I understand your question,it jerks forward with the car out of gear or when you place it in first gear?
