loss of power?

[Turner55]

kind of hard to explain, but when i let out the clutch in first gear there isnt a lot of power from when it catches and when it's out fully....after that it's back to normal....then all the other gears are normal too, it's just from when i start to go until i let out the clutch completely in first gear...the rest of first is fine, it's just when i'm letting out the clutch....
i know this is confusing and you may not even know what i'm talking about, but it's the best job of explaining i can think of...i first noticed it today when i got in my truck after work...it had been raining hard today too...i dont know what's wrong or if it's all my imagination, but it just doesnt seem to start off as well as it has been.
please help if you can guys, thanks

Sound like a dragging brake. If a brake pad is not releasing this will effect the inital movement of the vehicle. The movement of the vehicle can release it and you would not notice it until you stop again.

I had this happen on a smaller car with manual steering. One of the front disc pads would stick and would release sometimes when turning. Since I did not have power steering, I felt the release because the steering got easier and more power after the turn. It was the strangest feeling.

Hope this helps.
