Did you mean, slipping? If you clutch is slipping, the car would not hesitate, what you'll see is alot or rpm climbing but no speed. Is this what you mean?

Try doing a 3rd gear pull from 4k standing still. If the car tryis to stall, the is ok. If it revs, then you know is slipping, YOu can do this also while moving on 3rd or 4th.

I hope this is what you mean by hesitating?

well to be a bit more specific......i am in first gear i give it gas and let go the clutch and the rpm rises but the car doesnot go anywhere but if i keep pressing the gas the car starts flying after 3k....so i guess it is slipping....i am going to try that 3rd gear pull from 4k, but if it stalls....How do i get my power back

yeah dude your clutch is slipping...if your car doesn't have any performance modifications i would just go with a normal clutch. However, if you are looking at adding some power in the future i would go with a stronger clutch.

I just had to same problem. I just got a normal clutch and was getting ready to put it in, and I found that the rear seal was leaking and throwing oil back on the clutch causing it to slip. So that might be an option.
