My 2014 Opel/Vauxhall Insignia 2.0 CDTI with a manual transmission has some acceleration problems in 4th 5th 6th gears.

In those higher gears if I floor the gas pedal, the car will accelerate and pull fine until it reaches ~2500 RPM, and then the engine will instantly rev up to ~3500 or above but won't pull, only if I take my foot off the pedal. Then the revs drop and pull. It feels like turbo kicks in at ~2500 and the clutch starts to slip?

If I gradually accelerate without flooring it, I can go over 2500 RPM in any gear and also I can floor it in 1st 2nd 3rd, it won't slip.

Are these all signs of a worn out clutch?

If yes, is it recommended to change the whole kit : clutch, pressure plate, flywheel etc?

Thanks!

That sounds like the clutch and, yes, while it is apart do all the bits, but not the flywheel unless it needs it or it is a DMF.
