I had the same symptom and it was just a matter of adjusting the push-rod as already described. It does not need much adjustment to 'unload' the pressure on the clutch and all is well again.

Slippage will always be worse in the higher gears because the gearing causes the car to appear heavier as far as the engine is concerned. The engine applies the same torque to the flywheel but the resistance from the drive train is much greater in the higher gears.
