don't drive the car....
you have about 1000 miles left once it starts slipping in 5th
what I mean by that is your driving along the highway in 5th and punch it. instead of steady acceleration the rpm raise fast but the speed doesn't follow... When this happens it slowly creaps to 4th then to 3rd and so on till the clutch goes out completely.

or just drive like a granny
shift at lower rpms and never to race or you'll start eating thru the flywheel if it slips really bad
might as well save up now for a new clutch kit and maybe labor (if you won't change it yourself)

Without being there to feel what you feel, it's very hard to tell you what's wrong. Try bleeding the clutch 1st as this cost almost nothing and is a good idea to do anyway (bleed the same way you bleed brakes, ie. pump-hold-bleed). If it still feels weak after bleeding then maybe it's just worn out.
