Default Problem Getting Worse!!!!

When I first posted this problem it was diagnosed as wheel hop. I didn't think it was wheel hop the whole time but i went with it until i started noticing it getting considerable worse. First off i will give you a run down on the car. 110K miles full bolt ons and a bad clutch. I started noticing this problem after a few runs at the track. It seems like it gets worse in cold weather but that could be because it is getting cold and im driving it every day. I jacked it up and checked the u-joints so thats not it. Ok now to the problem, i will explain as good as i can. Before the problem got worse it would only do it about half clutch with quite abit of throttle. Now it does it when i put stress on it in low rpms in 1st and 2nd. It almost makes a clunking yet popping noise and it does it multiple times. It feels like it is in the trany. It almost feels like the clutch isn't fully engaged and it is skipping. My ideas are bad clutch or bad throw out bearing. Any help will be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

Agreed. If it was a fluid issue it would be worse in the heat and better when cold
