There appears to be no Fluid leakage on or near the slave or master. It
seems to be slipping at higher RMP's when I want a little extra umph out of
the car I hit the gas and the motor revs up but no acceleration until I let
off the gas and the trans can catch up, typical clutch slippage.

You need to rebuild the master and slave. I did this and it fixed up my
clutch problems. Check to see if hte slave or master is leaking or pump the
clutch a bunch of times. If this helps you probablu have a hydraulic
problem.
