need help diagnosing a problem

im thinking my clutch is slipping but here's the symptoms,
it engages first gear late like right when you're completely off it it engages.
it skips rpms from 3k-5k
can someone confirm my theory?

Shift from 1st to 4th and floor it. If your rpms jump kinda almost like free reving, bad clutch.

If you know how to drop your tranny and swap a clutch then yes, if not, a shop is your best bet
