Before you replace the clutch check for other (cheaper) causes... my 98 Civic did the same thing, took it to the dealer and they said it was the clutch, so I had it replaced. Turned out it was caused by bad spark plug wires!

to me it sounds like your clutch is going out.

To the guy above. I dont see how the spark plug wires would cause your clutch to slip

I think he was suggesting that that a missfire due to bad plug wires could cause the bump bump bump feeling.
If your clutch is slipping it will be obvious.

Correct the bad wires caused the engine to hesitate during acceleration, the dealer thought incorrectly that it was the Clutch slipping.
