The fact that it's not slipping in the lower gears indicates that your clutches are ok and that it's your clutch springs. I had the same symptoms and replaced the springs with Vesrah springs, which you should be able to get at the dealer. You'll have to go here anyhow, to get a new gasket. A word of caution if you're replacing the springs yourself, the spring bolts need to be torqued to, I think it's 94in/lbs. Any more than this and you risk snapping the bolts, then, you're up %%%%% creek.

Vesrah Clutch Spring Kit: $15
Gasket: $12
No More Slippage: Priceless
