Default Faltering acceleration

I just bought a 93 Impreza L for my daughter. Car ran ok during test drive, and for first day or so. Now she's experiencing a faltering when accelerating in 2nd gear, in 15-30 mph range. She reports it doesn't continue when she's shifted up to higher gears. 170,000 mi, 5 speed manual trans.
Also, what's the method for testing for clutch wear? I got noticable slippage when I tried with car in first gear with brakes set and gradually eased the clutch pedal out. Dealer said I did it wrong...set parking brake and popped clutch. Who's right?
