Another bout of clutch slipping ('96 900)

Any ideas on how to tell if a slippin clutch is due to a tight cable or a worn out disk? Mine started slipping the other day (on the way to get it inspected of all things!) but doing the "thwank" trick with the clutch pedal seems to have fixed it. We had a similar bout of slipping about a year ago, but replacing the cable fixed it. Clutch pedal pressure now is stiffer than new, but still much better than several 94-98 NG900s I have driven with clutches at the very end of their lives. So I am not convinced that the clutch is bad but don't know what else to do since the cable is amost new.
What has me confused now is that the usual problem with these cars, as I understand it, is the cable being too loose not too tight, and that's what I thought the "thwank" cure was supposed to address, by forcing the cable to adjust itself. But if the cable was my problem, it would have been that the cable was too tight, and as I understand it, there is no way to loosen them once they take up.
