I've been having the same issue. I first noticed it when i would do a little romping, and when i made the shift to third it would slip. It gradually got worse in the higher gears, and now i can only give it minimal gas in 5th and 6th due to slippage. First still pulls ok, but is starting to slip. I've also noticed that it seems like the clutch is grabbing at the top of the pedal, sometimes feels like it is still engaged (or disengaged, whichever occurs when you release the pedal).

Maybe someone will chime in that has had this issue...
