i usually does, it could also be your tranny ******* up, ... is there any rattle, or any noises that it's making, or do the revs just go up when in 4th with hardly any to no go at all?

Once the clutch start slipping, it won't last long.

With the car stopped, and your foot on the brake, put the tranny in 5th gear and slowly let the clutch out (still with your foot on the brake). If the car stalls, then the clutch is in "useable" condition according to the Haynes manual.
