I did adjust the clutch to get an inch of free play. It seems to slip a little bit in each gear, and is worse in 3rd and 4th. I might try to adjust it again before I take it apart.
Odds are that if you have sufficient free play and its still slipping, its clutch replacement time.
As mentioned, this is definitely one of those "while I'm at it" repairs. Consult your shop manual for details, but plan on replacing driven disc, replacing/rebuilding pressure plate, new throw out bearing, new pilot bearing/bushing, and resurfacing fly wheel. Also clean and re-grease fork pivot.
Be sure to wear appropriate PPE. Driven discs on older vehicles contained asbestos, so take proper precautions when handling/cleaning components. When you're done you'll have many trouble free miles ahead of you.
Not sure what the configuration of your trans looks like. Mine has studs on each side, so I made a couple of L-brackets, attached them to the sides, then borrowed my buddy's motor cycle jack. Put a little plywood platform on it with holes to accommodate a ratchet strap tie down. Worked great. If I were to do it again, I would include the driveline angle in the design - but the threaded feet allow enough adjustment to slide the trans in and out with no issues.
Best Regards....
