# 1. if you have a 5 spd, you can't have a GXE. 2. it's definitely hot the throwout bearing. -->

if the car hesitates before moving, then it sounds like the clutch is worn out.

if the engine is "stuttering", then it's not the clutch. you have more problems to take care of once you get the clutch fixed.

try changing the plugs, plug wires, distributor cap and rotor. all common tune-up items that people never replace because they dont' think they need it.

: When I engage my clutch and the car is set into first gear as I press the gas pedal and release the clutch the car hesitates for a few seconds then acelerates after those few seconds. As I am driving it also studders or shakes and acceleration is very poor. Car makes a lot of interesting noises as well. It has been doing this for quite a while now. The car has 150,000 miles on it. I was wondering what anyone may think is wrong with it. I think it is the throw out baring but I dont really know. I want to know for sure before I go buy the parts and get it fixed.
