Clutch

When I try to accelerate from a dead stop going down a hill in 1st the tachometer "bounces", sometimes almost hitting red-line while I'm hardly moving. It's almost like the clutch is grabbing and slipping constantly. The car is lurching all the while.

It doesn't matter how nicely I ease off the clutch pedal or how much gas I give it, the car will start lurching. It's enough to get me some angry stares from neighbors.

The only remedy I've found is to let the car roll down the hill until I can safely put it in 2nd or 3rd.

(Car has 1600 miles on it so it better not be a worn clutch)

Anyone else having issues like this or have any ideas?
