slipping gear?

2002 mini 5 speed Manuel. Going up hill or get on the gas hard the gear slips. Only does it in gears 3-5. You guys have been spot on everytime. So I thought I'd ask the guru's. Thank you in advance.

3rd thru 5th, it's most likely the beginingss of the clutch going bye-bye, the higher the gear the more "torque" required for momentum, the more torque, the more stress on the two mating surfaces.

Drive it to a place to get the clutched changed....wait more than a FEW miles...you will need a tow..
Drive it much with a slip, and the flywheel will become junk.....delaying will cost you $$.
