when it is up to speed its fine so i dont think its the clutch cus its not over reving like when a clutch is on the way out

I have had clutch problems (worn out needing replacement) on just 2 cars in my driving lifetime - each time loss of power when taking hills was the first symptom I noticed.

You car may have clutch problems...
