Well I finaly have an ansewer. It was the clutch! I just replaced the clutch,fly and press. plate. My clucth was just down to the rivets and I think that may have been a contibuting factor to the strange slipping. Porsche said they only last 40-50k and mine went out @55k so they were right. The garage manager got in and drove it 10 ft and said it was the clutch because of a high engaugement point on the pedal throw. The new clutch is in and wow! I lift the pedal now about 1/4 - 1/2 in, and its engauged. Very noticeable if any of you are not to that point yet I guess pedal throw is a big give-a-way on these cars. nice to know and thanks for the info everyone.
