What you are experiencing is typical of a worn clutch not a transmission. Regardless of how hard you drive it - Boxsters go through them pretty damn quick. Sorry - time to replace that sucker.

By the way, if you made it to 64k miles without previously replacing your clutch - then all I have to say is "WOW".
