[DeTomaso] Slippage in 4th gear, Clutch recommendations?

[Mike Thomas]

Not necessarily true.  The engine will put it's greatest torque on the
clutch in higher gears.  If you are getting the same slip in 4th and 5th
when you step on it, it's the clutch in early stages of death.  Roydon's
right - if it is just fourth, it's something else, but what, I've no idea.

If the clutch works fine in the other gears, I'd guess that it is not a
clutch problem.
