iunno if i am right but theres something called syncronyzers between every gear and they might be going and need to be replaced. I am to scared when i drive the car i will damage them when im not racing i drive like a wuss and stray away from shifting alot

what do you mean by hesitation... is it bogging down? refusing to go in gear? what?

WTF, LOL haaha u stray away from shifting so u dont hurt your syncros ???????? what do u do leave it in 3rd all the time ? lol as long as u can actually drive a stick, which im questioning if u can, and u actually use the clutch your syncros should be fine.

Well what I mean by hesitation is that as soon as I let the clutch out, the car bogs down and then takes off. I tried fuel injector cleaner thinking that it might be that but it didnt help.
The car is stick shift.

Well speaking that my clutch is about to go.... its in its last miles any minutes.... i am scared lol okay I will soon change it out and really shift and its more like 1st 2nd 3rd and then i start around in the 4th and 5th save gas you know its not like i got around town flooring it everywhere.

i see, how long has it been doing it for? did it just start now or has it been doing it for a while? sounds like it's got something to do with fuel delivery.... is there any smoke when it does this?

[elguerra1]

Well, Ive only had the car for about two months now, and its been doing it since. There is no smoke at all, but when I start it sometimes it seems like it has a hard time to get to a smooth idle. I am thinking of doing a full tune-up on it this weekend and hope it helps.
