Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. Tried all the suggestions for the BAS/ESP light fix, to no avail.
Go with post #2.
It is pretty obvious that the weakness is between the engine and the rear wheels. If the clutch is working then there is a direct relationship between engine revs and the cars speed. You really know this having driven the car all those miles.
