Transmission slipping?

Transmission slipping?
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I'm kind of stuck. For the last two weeks it feels like my 2009 G37s "slips" when I accelerate at the higher speeds, 60 mph and up. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't reproduce it (not sure why, it happend whenever I drive now). They said it sounds like the clutch but I don't think so, and I don't want to change the clutch out if that's not it. I hit the gas, the RPMs start to rise, then fall back, and rise once more.
I have a video showing the lull in the tachometer but I don't k ow how to post it".
Any thoughts?

45K, original clutch. Forgive a stupid question, but I don't know much about cars mechanically wise...why the clutch if this doesn't happen in the act of shifting?
If I do need a clutch, do I need to go to Infiniti or can a local mechanic do it for me? The dealer wants 1500 which seems steep.

Thanks guys, I'm away from home for a few weeks but I will absolutely try this out once I get back. What does a non-OEM "upgraded' clutch get me? Is this something I have changed at the dealer or a local mechanic? Like I said Infinity wants $1500 to put a new clutch in, which sounds steep.
Thanks again!

Make sure you get it diagnosed first just because you aren't sure if it's the clutch but most likely it is at that mileage and not the transmission but you never know.

No offense at all because we have all been there but if you don't know what a slipping clutch means or how to tell, you should definitely leave it to the mechanics to diagnose it. If you are unhappy with the dealers results, take it to another shop for a second opinion. If you're quoted $1500 parts and labor, that's not terrible but it'll be all OEM or OEM replacements.
