Cosmo, from your description your clutch is slipping only when the engine
reaches maximum torque. This means it won't slip if the engine has no load
to work against (and thus cannot develop max torque).
Clutch engagement right at the top is a give-away for linkage/hydraulic
problems. Check the things I gave you before, especially free play at the
MC. It doesn't have to be much, but there has to be some, otherwise the
little valve won't open and let any pressure buildup back into the
reservoir. A stiff pedal pivot or broken pedal return spring can cause the
same problem.
