CSC or clutch, both sound bad as they both require transmission removal. I guess at least I will fix the stupid bearings that are noisy

Sounds like a fluid/csc/cmc issue. What is happening is you are running to 7000 in 2nd gear and when you try to shift (depress the pedal) your clutch is not disengaging thus your rpm's are staying as if you were still in 2nd (because you are still in second).

The good news is that your clutch is probably fine and slave cylinders and master cylinders are covered under warranty! Just don't let them bully you into purchasing a clutch (b/c not covered under warranty) or god forbid using GT-R clutch fluid at $150 per bottle (they tried that on me and I really had almost yell at the service tech).
