I have always been told the way to test a clutch is to pop the clutch in 3rd and if it stalls, the clutch is fine.

My car easily passes that, but when I give it the beans on the highway, it seems to slip. This happens for upshifts as well as down - even when I match revs.

-> Is it time for a new clutch? How much do you think it would cost?<-

I've never heard of the 3d gear test. I put the car in 5th or 6th, fully engage the clutch, and then matt the throttle. If it slips, it's time. Sounds like it's time.

You have 140k miles...its time :-)

140K miles? You have gone way past "time" for a clutch. Good clutch foot, however.

Mine started slipping in 5th on the hyw. Replaced it.

My experience was a bit different... maybe because the S has a different clutch (IIRC), an adjustable one.... but read here, it may help: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...went-cost.html

Did the clutch really go 140k miles? Thats amazing if so.
