my cluch seems to be going . when i come out of first gear . the car starts to hesitate alote sometime , and i have to switch into second gear , and it also seems to have a hard time going up step hills in first and second gear . when im on the highway in 2nd - 5th i don't have any problem at all . it's only when im coming out of 1st gear .
should i go to the dealer to get the cluch , or is there a better one out there for my car ?

Sounds like the clutch is slipping. Start by checking for fluid leaks. If you find any fix them and bleed the system. DOT 3 brake fluid. Now with the engine running hold the pedal for like 5 seconds and shift into reverse. Your checking the spin down time. If there is grinding the clutch or pressure plate are bad. Exedy makes a nice clutch kit for the 3vz/E153 Camry or ES300 that i would look at if you need one, theyre really easy to find online. Make sure you replace or resurface the flywheel and change the crank seal too.
Ive got the original clutch on my 92 and the only problem is the throwout bearing makes a growling type noise when the engine is really cold then goes away once shes warmed up. Its not really loud though and as far as operation goes its fine still. Good luck
