Clutch Question
Please bear with me if this has been asked before. I could not find the answer anywhere.
I have a 98 2WD 5 speed. I pull a 5th wheel occasionally. It seems lately that when I am unloaded and get on it like after slowing down a little, the engine winds up a little bit faster than the pickup gets going. My question is, does this sound like my clutch is going out, and if so, how can I test it to be sure? Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

That's how it feels, like it is slipping. Am I correct in assuming that means a new clutch in the near future, or is there some way to adjust it?
