[Vwdiesel] hesitation

[jeremy]

Few weeks ago I noticed that cruising at about 45-50mph my 81 Rabbit diesel
with 125000 miles would hesitate a little then surge forward. Above or below
that speed it seems to hold the speed steady. Yesterday the situation got
really worse. Now from a start up at first gear after releasing the clutch it
would just not accelerate at all for about a second or two then surges forward.
This happen at all 4 gears right after shifting with first gear being the
worst. People behind almost rear ended it few times in this no patience LA
area. Any suggestion for the possible causes and remedies? Is there anything on
IP I can make adjustment? The engine doesn't smoke and it starts right up every
time. I had the IP pump idle shaft seal replaced due to leaking few months
back. I wonder if that upsetted something. Also, I get about 37 mpg on normal
city/hwy driving before this happens, is that normal with 4 speed trans?
Thanks.
Jeremy
