I've established this problem a bit closer as I've had it for a bit longer. I 
feel a lot better that almost everyone has told me its not the clutch :). the 
problem that I encountered (in gears that I can get to redline around me, 
namely first and second) that this bucking/hesitation occurs at WOT. if I back 
off on the gas just a little bit, like a quarter inch at most it'll act just 
fine. Haven't replaced the accelerator cable just yet, but that could 
definately be part of it I'm thinkin.

   is this visable? or do I need to pull off the door panel, cause looking 
around I definately don't see any one inch rectangular guide floating around, 
althought that could explain the door rattle, j/k.
