Default I have an issue......

...and I don't know what it is. The car idles fine, drives fine, runs wot fine, but upon part throttle take off from a standstill it feels as if something is either hanging up for a split second or something slips for a split second. It feels like a hesitation and a hang up.

It doesn't happen immediately on takeoff but maybe 1-2 mph. I have no idea what it could be.........rear going, trans slipping, suspension issue, engine issue. I am pretty mechanically inclined but this one's got me stumped.

It started happening today, I was out beating the crap out of my car trying to set my shift points so really it could be anything. I started noticing that the car would do this issue upon driving off from a traffic light.

I am going to pull the rear end cover and see if there's a suprise waiting for me, but aside from that I don't know what to check. I don't want to keep driving the car incase something lets loose on the highway. Any suggestions?
