Lack of traction or slipping clutch

question for the OP...when you make that shift, does the rpm hang around 9k then slowly drop to around 7k before climbing again? also, are you running WOT through 2nd gear, and even maybe 3rd?
Two videos:

That's in 6th gear, throttle floored

that second video is exactly what i saw in my car. and from your first video, it seems that you're fine in 6th gear, which means you're not slipping much at all. for my car, i started slipping from 1st to 2nd, then from 2nd to 3rd, and so on. THEN, one day, it slipped in 6th on the highway as i tried to pass someone. if you start getting the rev hang in your 2nd to 3rd shift and so forth, then you might need to look into a new clutch. it'll still be driveable (for a while), but you just can't get on it hard, especially in 5th or 6th gear.
