Yeah, it's most likely. I've posted in the past about nearly ruining the clutch pulling a VW microbus out of a ditch over a year and half ago. I just expected an aging clutch to give problems in shifting, not higher rpms.

Unfortunately a mechanic said I was out of clutch adjustment travel... but I do the checking this time...(I think also said he changed my pcv...but probably didn't..)

I am surprised that the clutch would shift well but still be slipping in higher rpms. It still seems the most likely problem. I can limp through a few more months and even hills aren't a problem so far but as long as I don't push the accelerator more than a third and it seems fine until that surging, spinning out of motor feel..(like being on ice or having no drive train for a moment. )
