acceleration skips/wheel hop do i need a new clutch?

[dsmturbowhore]

Hi everybody, I've been having problems lately with my 95 gst. When I'm accelerating, usually between 2500 and 4500, the engine seems to slip. It will pull hard and then hit a point where it skips or hesitates for like 5 secs then it will pull fine again. It used to do this every once in awhile but the past couple of months it happens all the time. Ive replaced all wires and plugs and still nothing. Also after a 1-2 hour trip the car will start to get absolutely rediculous shaking or wheel hop when coming out of first gear, like at a red light. It almost feels like it does right before it stalls, but its at like 2500 rpms. Any help is appreciated my car is stock and probably needs a new clutch but I just wanted some feedback.

This sounds more like an engine issue to me. If your clutch is slipping than when accelerating, your rpms will increase but your speed will not due to the clutch disk not gripping the flywheel. When you say your car is hesitating it makes me think that maybe you are getting knock that is causing you car to pull timing. If it were your clutch, the engine would not hesitate.
