I have a 2006 lexus IS250 with a 6 speed manual tranny with about 120k on it. Lately when I drive it when I go on 2nd gear i'm getting like a lag from the engine, the rpm fall down and after a second or two they go back up and it runs fine and now its doing it on 3rd and 4th and I think im starting to feel it on 5th gear also. I replaced the spark plugs and is still doing the same thing, and now it won't pull up my drive way (UP HILL) I have to start off real fast to make it up the hill please help. Thanks

I hate to sound stupid but how would that feel this is our first manual tranny car and I really dont know what to look for. But like I mention before it lags then it grabs so maybe thats what we are experiencing

Not stupid. You are asking a reasonable question and it seems as if the clutch might be the issue here. It might require replacement.

About 4 hours labor and of course the parts cost, of which you can research that locally.
