I'd say clutch or guibo.
Guibo is easy to check, as Chowdah said just put it on a lift and look. If you see cracks you need to replace it.
I'll give you 2 methods for checking your clutch:
1. (this is the method I learned long ago on low horsepower vehicles - not sure if it applies) With the car idling and foot firmly planted on the brake, put the car in 5th gear. Slowly and steadily release the clutch. The vehicle should just die. Any slipping or additional revving while releasing means new clutch.
2. The recommended test I've read on this board is to get your car in 3rd car at about 2500-3000 rpm under steady throttle and then floor it. If you get revving without acceleration = new clutch.
Good luck!
