I would guess that your clutch is indeed shot. I think some clutches may fail because the main seal fails and oil gets sprayed onto the clutch. An oily clutch will just slip and slip and slip. The clutch flings this oil onto the underside of the hood, just above the clutch. You may look to see if there's any oil in that location. It will look like a greasy oily streak above the heat shield.
I had this failure happen to me from a rebuilt unit I got off ebay. I regret this decision because I was trying to save a few dollars by buying from a discount seller.
If you decide to buy a compressor, I would strongly suggest buying from one on the site sponsors because they won't let you down if something goes wrong. Sobstory is awesome in this regard.
My failure mode analysis may be wrong regarding the compressor. This happened to me a few times and that's what I think is going on, but someone else probably knows better than me.
Aloha, Chris 85t
