    As the gear goes higher - the torque load on the clutch increases. So its possible that its slipping and only showing up in the upper gears at this point.

    If you are in 4th gear. And you mash the pedal from 30 mph and the clutch slips. You need a new clutch.

    No, It WAS slipping for about 10 minutes.

    Now it doesn't do anything... I can turn it on and shift into first and let off the clutch and it doesnt stall or move or anything... Same with 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and R. It might barely move a little bit.... but not actually keep moving.

    If you can shift gears as you just described,that means there is no friction between flywheel and clutch disc, indicates a completely failed clutch disc.
