Default New stealth, new headaches..

Hey fellow stealth owners, I just recently bought a '91 Stealth R/T TT 64k orig miles. Beautiful car inside and out but there is a slight hesitation in the acceleration at about 2k rps and up till 3k she runs smooth..

It's the worst in first gear, as I'm accelerating I get up to 15mph+ and it will start to jerk and hesitate. Only happens under accel. In higher gears as I'm just cruising, it will jerk every once in a while. I watched my boost gauge one day, it fluctuates as I run through the gears, not stepping on it, just running smooth through them. Also, I would rev it in neutral and it somewhat chokes a bit, but idles perfectly. The tach needle doesnt move smoothly either. If I get it 3k rpm+ the boost is working well and accelerates smoothly, just that certain rpm range she acts up. Boost leak? Anything to do with turbos? I know It's not normal.. I would appretiate your input.

One more thing.. Theres a squeak from the tranny I belive. When the clutch is disengaged, not a loud but definatly noticable squeak is heard. When the clutch pedal is depressed, it dissapears. I was told from a buddy that my pressure plates could be loose... I think me and my stealth will get along pretty well..
