i have a 2012 brand new manual acura tsx and all i use it for is for work and school, i drive it normal im not a racer or nothing like that, sometimes from 1st to 2nd the clutch grinds a little and lately ive noticed that when releasing the clutch between 1,2,3,4 the car jerks when before it wouldnt, and sometimes when realeasing the clutch in 1st to get moving the rpms drop more than usual and i have to accelerate more than i usually would, what can this be? air in line? adjustment needed? the car is 1 month old only

How long you been driving stick?

Sounds like you might just need to get used to the engagement point of the clutch. If its grinding between gears its the transmission and not the clutch - you are probably letting it out too early. The smoothness comes with time.

From starting in 1st depending on the grade (uphill, downhill) you will need to adjust the throttle accordingly.

I agree with the above- you need to get used to the clutch and transmission.
