New Clutch??? HELP!!

Alright people I need your help...

I have an '04 RX8 with 113k on the original engine...
Ive talked to a couple of people about my problem and they thinks its a clutch problem, what do you guys think.... Heres the low down
There are new coils and plugs on the car with less then 1500 miles on them, fresh oil does not shake or rumble no leaks or clogs. BTW all the mileage is long distance mileage driving from NC to DC.

Heres the problem, The car has a significant loss of power. I have to rev up the RPMS to atleast 5000 to 6000 to get the car to start moving. No compression test ever done, and have new fuel pumps. The clutch also sinks in quite a bit when i start the car, but to change gears I only have to slightly drop it, maybe like and inch or two... Heres the kicker... My car will NOT stall out, and yes it is a MT. SO im lost....
The car has also overheated on me when I try to turn on the A/C but I dont think this would affect the other issues. Im thinking relay on that problem. SO honestly I have no clue what could be the problem.

SO if you guys think that if it is a clutch problem please suggest any clutches you think I can purchase or if it is something else just help!!!
Thanks.

Compression test. Overheating hum with 113k you prob need a new water pump too. Good luck.
