Scott,

Could you be a little more descriptive about the hesitation? The symptoms of 
a slipping clutch are the engine revs up higher than it should given the 
gear and vehicle speed. In the early stages, the effect is only noticeable 
in the 4th and 5th gears...and then it creeps down to lower gears.

If the hesitation is a reduction in torque...but the engine remains at the 
correct speed for the road speed (in the given gear), its something else....

Alan
