I've only owned the car for a few weeks and I didn't start to notice until I began driving it a bit harder, but I detect a noticeable stutter/hiccup/hesitation on hard acceleration.
In first gear it is not noticeable at all. Second gear only slightly. Third and fourth definitely more pronounced. (I haven't accelerated through 5th gear to 3,000 RPM yet.)
It's a minor annoyance and I'm not ready to tear the car apart to correct it, but my guess is it will not go away on its own and may get worse with time.
Any ideas where to start looking?
