Time to pull the assembly apart, have the flywheel cleaned/cut and install a new disk. Your clutch is slipping. 4th or 5th gear when pulling a hill....yup been there and done did that one. Mine was from contamination, little bit of oil or gear lube goes along way in ruining a clutchs day. You can do all the checks and adjustments suggested, but if it were me in your shoes (do wear 8-1/2 by chance?) I'd rather only do those adjustments once after the new clutch was installed and flywheel reconditioned.

But thats just me. OEM clutch kits for low price can be had from JTOutfitters.com No need to pay the extra money for centerforce unless your friends will think you are a god for forking out the extra $100 for the name.
