This is all long-distance armchair speculation, of course. However, whatever the cause, if the engine is lugging, this is not a good idea to let happen for the sake of engine durability. I usually default to taking it in when in doubt...letting it go would just seem too much risk.

This could possibly be the problem if it's a 6MT. I've never experienced such a thing with an auto trans but on a manual for sure if in a higher gear at a moderate speed trying to accelerate. Almost a chattering/stuttering type of feeling until the car gets up to speed. OP is your car a 6MT?
