Sounds like classic symptoms of a slipping clutch .

Best to replace the whole lot in one go, rather than strip it down at a later date...

If it'slipping , you probably wont have any alternative but to relace complete assembly due to wear . Very few decent garages or mechanics would fit one part of clutch as opposed to kit .If you keep on using car you could end up needing a new flywheel also .
