I've now had my car 6 years -- since 48k miles -- and it now has 110k of 75% city driving. On a lot of mornings, the first mile or so, I notice a "lag" in acceleration after shifting to 2nd.

It's as if some Star Trek tractor beam is holding back the car from continuing to accelerate -- it happens generally on uphill slopes and the revs don't jump at all.

Is my clutch disc or pressure plate going? If so, what all should I do while in there?

Thanks!
