Roger,
1st, I think I sold that 99 to you. If it's the same yellow 1980 99GLi in the Wash/DC/VA area, it may be me. I was going to George Mason Univ at the time and the wife made me get rid of it. Tried to get in touch with you on the 900 board some time ago. Saw a pic which caused me to rebuild another one - Also thanks to DougM.
As for the clutch, slippage comes in all forms. If I can remember with that car, it always felt funny. I never replaced it. You can feel/tell if the clutch is slipping when you accelerate and change gears. Keep your eye on the tachometer if there is one, and see if the revs suddenly increase rapidly without corresponding acceleration from the vehicle. What it feels and sounds like is lots of engine noise but not much forward progress.
