Default sputtering in gear w/ the clutch held in.

now i now my ***** been getting bad but it's gotten worse, help me out dudes!
when i take off in first w/ the clutch all the in it starts to sputter quiet a bit. it's very hard putting it into every gear. I go in reverse an it'll move back before i release the clutch. (no im not on a hill). my buddy said my clutch fluid might be low an that the clutch is still spinning while i try an put it in gear. i see two resivors brake fluid an i guess the little one in front is clutch fluid. both full.
my other buddy said it's the slave cylinder, but tells me just to replace the clutch... I can hardly drive the car. CAN NE ONE HELP ME!? NE ONE FROM SD OR CV (better) THAN CAN COME OVER AN HELP ME!? I'll pay you. in back rubs.

does the pedal have pressure or just go to the floor?

How many miles and is it the OEM clutch?

When on the highway if you are in fifth and floor it... do the rpms go up faster than the mph? Can you smell or notice a slipping clutch?

1. yes! a lot i have to ram that bitch in gear super hard an then the clutch regains a little pressure.

2. i bought the car with 48k an now its at 70k. just did a tranny flush about a week ago. temp fix.

3. well i know there isn't a smell but i haven't noticed rpms moving faster.
