I had this issue on my 91 'Teg for about two months, eventually the car got stuck in first gear and I had to leave it on the side of the road, then returned at 2am and drove it home in 1st/2nd. (did u know you can shift WITHOUT the clutch if your speed is just right??)

After dismantling the clutch from the engine, I found that one of the small springs in the clutch plate had snapped in half and was free floating (messing sht up a lot.) Picked up a clutch kit from a local retailer, NPK I think. Had the flywheel resurfaced. Replaced all parts and re-assembled, adjusted cable to take all slack... ran mellow for first 1k miles, works like a charm, grabs hard after about 5k miles added; I couldn't be happier.

Hope that helps, I bet your clutch is slowly going out.
