Sounds like a classic case of clutch slipping. Test this once you're underway by shifting into a high gear and flooring it above 2000 rpms. If the engine winds up but the car doesn't accelerate accordingly, your clutch is probably slipping. I don't think the hydraulic linkage is adjustable on our cars.
70K miles wouldn't be unheard of to need a clutch. I've worn them out anywhere from 60K (drove like a psycho in hilly/stop-sign riddled Ithaca) to 150K. It really varies with driving style, terrain, etc.
The throwout bearing will make noise when your pedal is pressed in (clutch is disengaged). From my previous vehicles I know that if it's going bad it can make squealing or rumbling noises, or sometimes a clattering sound, but only when the pedal is pressed in.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Lutfisk
