Sounds like your clutch is slipping.

ditto on the clutch
Go about 40Mph, put it in 5th, put it to the floor, if it does the same thing, you need a new clutch

depends on which clutch. i've seen oem replacements on ebay for just over $100. one thing you might want to check is if you have the clutch pedal play nut too tight. i tightened mine up to take out ALL of the play, and the clutch slipped because the clutch wasn't fully engaging. it's just one thing to check, but not probable if you haven't touched the play adjusting nut since you bought the car.

You might want to call around to some dedicated transmission shops, or at least local garages in your area. They might be much cheaper than the dealer.

Just ask how much to install a new clutch.

You also might want to consider a Kore Stage1 as a replacement, if the cost of the OEM unit is to high.
