Sounds like the slave is hanging up, not giving full engagement right away. The whine is your release bearing, could be binding, also causing a slow release. Clutch slippage is usually noticeable first, in a higher gear...when on boost longer and generating sufficient torque to break an other wise good clutch loose. Not to say it wont in a lower gear, but seems to prevail in higher load situations first.
So how would I be able to figure out if the slave is the problem vs the clutch? I am pretty mechanically apt but I have not done much on this car, have always left it to the dealer to service etc. If we were talking about my boat or chevy truck I would have no problem ripping the transmission out. Thanks for the assistance!

Your power steering reservoir is likely going bad if you have an intermittent high pitched whine that goes away when you press in the clutch. There is a TSB for that to replace it with a newer part. A good clutch option is the Sachs stage 2 or Clutchmasters stage 3 (also uses Sachs parts). I have the Sachs stage 2 with the factory DM flywheel and its just like OEM except with much greater clamping ability. Lot of guys like the Clutchmasters.
John .. Thanks for the heads up. I searched the TSB on the power steering replacement didn't find anything. I searched in the forum as well and got hundreds of different directions. Can you possibly provide a bit more guidance or definition as to the problem on the whine?

Have you ever done a clutch in these cars? If you have and you are still advising people to that this clutch is easy to do with basic hand tools, I think you are steering the forum members in the wrong direction. If you havent done a clutch maybe you should keep your advice to yourself until you do.
