Could be the clutch clearence has opened up due to wear.  Think that 
the open gap should be .030"...  

If it has opened up, it isn't too hard to take the front part of 
the clutch off and remove one washer/shim and then put it back together,


I used putty knife to keep the clutch from rotating as I took the 
bolt out.  Then with a pair of screwdrivers, you wiggle the clutch 
off.  

You might also have the pressure switch going bad.  It sits on the 
top of the accumulator tank.  It is adjustable, but I can't remember 
which way to turn the screw.

regards, Jim White
