Clutch slipping in 5th gear

Hi,

I read several posts on this great forum regarding clutch slipping, but haven't found an appropriate answer so far.

I have a '91 480ES with a mileage of 140,000 miles. My clutch only _seems_ to slip when driving 75-80mph in 5th gear when accelerating from 3,000 revs and higher.

Does it need replacement or is their a workaround to fix this problem for the time being?

Thanks for your answers!

loosen the clutch cable. If that doesn't work its gearbox out time im afraid.
