Sounds like you have oil on the clutch.

Best bet? The faster you go the more likely the clutch will start to slip. The higher the gear you are in the more likely it will slip. Basically...the more load on the clutch the more likely it will slip.

So...if it starts to slip...reduce speed and drop to a lower gear. Depending on how bad it is...biggest problem will be going up hills in 5th? You might have to drop into 4th for these....

You can always drop down into 1st and 2nd (almost no load) ....you'll get there eventually.....
