High gear clutch slippage

Stewart, in my example of driving an old truck up a hill;
In 3rd I could floor it all the way up the hill from about 1800 to about 4000 with no slippage.
In 4th I would slowly roll on the throttle and it would pull to about 2500 or so and then slip. This was repeatable as I'd back off and get lock up then add throttle until it slipped.

I'll stick with increased resistance since we're not talking blowing through the clutch on a gear change but after full lock up, then getting slippage.

DL Rambo nailed it.
