Default Clutch or something else...

I'm coming home and was getting on it from a stop, car has 80+ on the clock, making over 400 to the wheels. I shifted hard between 1-2nd up around 6400 and same between 2-3rd. It felt like the rear "floated" or something, almost like the tires spun a little but it wasnt a chirp and they hooked thing. The tires on the back have about 30% tread left so it could have spun, I have a bad left rear shock which is getting replaced this week. Could it be the clutch, the tranny, the rear? Yesterday was kind of damp and chilly, around mid 60s with some mist in areas so... Going to go out tomorrow after work and try it again and see what the result is. Any ideas guys?
