Not sure if its the trans or not but when shifting into higher gear at low rpms it hesitates and feel the car pause then goes into gear. Mash the gas pedal and it gets worse. Anyone heard of this problem?

I'm not sure i understand. Does it take more muscle on the shifter to get the gear engaged? If so, clutch is probably no fully released. I once had a floor mat that crept up under the pedal and would keep the clutch pedal from reaching full release. On the other hand, if it is a release problem, I don't know why you would notice just on up shift and not when shifting into first or reverse from full stop.

Jeff, it's a stick...

jk, you stated this; "...when shifting into higher gear at low rpms..." Just how low are you meaning? Also; "... it hesitates and feel the car pause then goes into gear." It should be in the gear you've selected...
