slipping in high gears

Lately my clutch has been slipping in 4th and 5th gears when i step heavy on the accelerator. it'll rev up to about 2500 rpms and then slowly grab. I thought it was oil getting on the clutch from a leaky turbo pedistal but I put new o-rings in and stopped the leak. That was about 2 months ago. It doesn't smell like burning clutch so could it be weak springs or something? anyone else have a similar experience or ideas of what it could be?

the pedal feels fine, so maybe a heavy duty clutch? I think its stock, what is a good clutch for daily towing that is relatively inexpensive?
