By the way. I figured out the failure.
The immediate cause of the clutch slippage was a jammed clutch fork.
The PO did not use the clutch to bearing clip and the clutch fork fell behind the bearing, the bearing rotated 90 degrees and the fork got jammed on and cocked a bit.
Pushed the bearing about 1 inch forward of where it should have been making it ride the pressure plate a bit.
$1 clip and I'd never have had the problem.
That being said. I'm getting some maintenance out of the way.. and learning a bunch about rovers.
THanks a lot to the people that helped me out.
