Engine Revs Up but doesn't move truck any quicker

[mike16]

I remember when Motor Trend did a report on a 72 vega with an automatic. They also said that when you stepped on the gas to accelerate it made more noise but didn't move any faster. I drove one for 3 years and that is very much the truth.

but when a clutch slips there is also an unmistakable smell. like very hot brakes. dead give away. If the cause is related to oil on the disc, then you will smell hot brakes smell and burning oil smell too.

dont play around with it too much or you could ruin the flywheel too.

I don't smell anything. Here is a picture of what I believe is the adjustment rod. My manual doesn't say to tighten or loosen. Any advice?
