Default HELP Clutch/GBox Problem???

Hi
New user, wonder if you can help.
I have a 6 speed STI WR1 and it is working fine, but......
When I floor the accelerator it starts to fly then the engine continues to rev freely but the speed of the car is not as it should be.
It is as though the clutch is being dipped.
This only happens when driving it hard and I am not sure if this is a clutch, gearbox or some other malfuncction such as the dump valve or rev limiter...
All help and tips would be gratefully rec'd.
Cheers
Joe

Your clutch is slipping mate.
Put into fifth, hold at start of boost and floor it. If the rev's shoot up then your clutch is toast.
