The clutch cable auto adjuster some times needs help. You reach under the under-hood fuse boxm grab it and pull it out from the firewall. You can also examine the cable as it connects to the bell housing area to see that the outer part is properly seated.
The clutch does not care what gear you are in as it only sees engine torque, not transmission output torque. But you get reduced torque in 1st and 2nd gears. You can do max acceleration runs in 3rd gear and watch for signs of slipping via the tach. If you accelerate very hard and watch the tach, when you close the throttle or reduce the throttle, (still in gear) if the trany is slipping, you will see the tach drop. During that short observation event, the speed drop of the vehicle is trivial.
Never drive with your foot on the clutch petal. Even if the pressure has no effect on clutch grip, that puts pressure on the throwout bearing which will cause wear and heating. It is not designed for sustained service. Always engage the clutch decisively and reduce the time of transion as much as you can.
