Hate to say it but all these tests are going to kill the clutch even more, accept that it is going and plan to spend some money to get it done or do it yourself.

^Agreed.. The Reason the clutch slips to 4500 and then back down to 3000 is because that's where you're torque peak is. Clutches are victims of torque. The clutch will slip more and more the higher the gear as long as you are in the torque peak. So, if it slips a little in 3rd at 3000rpm, it will slip more in 4th at 3000rpm and it will basically completely let go in fifth at 3000rpm.
