the rpm would jump really high then drop back down. And the clutch feels like its not grabbing as well as it used it. Is the clutch going out? Is it the synchro? or could it be both?

Default This could be your diaphragm spring in the clutch going out. It happened to me. I didn't get

slippage, but once the car was warmed up I couldn't disengage the clutch at all. Your's could be a variation of this situation. Before it went out totally, it was almost impossible for me to shift smoothly.
