Pull the trans and replace the clutch. You're likely in for a flywheel or resurfacing depending on how much heat damage there is from revving to 5000RPM with the clutch slipping like that.
In the process of putting a new clutch in it inspect and replace if necessary things like the clutch cable, release arm, pilot and release bearings, release arm and pivot, input shaft retainer (the sleeve over which the release bearing rides) etc.
So you are saying the clutch is slipping? will that make the car lose power?
It's situations/threads like this that I am so happy I have an auto. Clutch & flywheels replacement = PITA x 10!!!

When i am shifting from 1-2 and 2-3 i will floor the gas with my foot off the clutch and the RPM will climb to 3,4,5K RPM but the car will just rev and but not as fast.
The clutch is very high. its a spec 1 clutch. Its over 5 years old, not sure if that has anything to do with it?
Any suggestions?
More than likely, the clutch is toast. Get a new flywheel with clutch. A good time to get rid of your shorty headers since they add no power and add longtubes, even if you go with the cheaper flowtechs. Make sure you RTV the flowtechs since they slip on.
