No, we just have jobs and have to go to bed early Laughing . If you are still able to drive, I don't guess it's going to be a stripped brake drum, so it does sound like something clutch related. Are you dripping any oil possibly from around where the engine and transmission mate up? Could be your main seal or transmission is leaking and getting the clutch area slippery. Or your pressure plate may have weakened. I'm no expert on this issue, so let others chime in first, but you'll probably need to pull the engine and take a look at everything to find the problem.

The possible culprits are pretty much in that same area- I'd pull the engine too, and see what you find. I pretty sure, when a brake drum gives out, it suddenly quits (you get an all than nothing kinda event) so i doubt it's that. All the stuff mentioned above would probably give the symptoms you have- so get out those jackstands!

Check that your rear brake drum hub is not worn and spinning as well. I've had that happen to me.

if the clutch is indeed slipping, you will need a new flywheel if you keep driving it, because if it wears all the way down to the rivets or the metal, your screwed. also, if you overheat it to bad, you will also need a new flywheel. but yeah, check for oil, if its oil'y replace the flywheel o ring and rear seal
