    It does sound like clutch is slipping.
    Is it in all gears, all speeds?

    There are a few things you can do to test clutch.
    • Start in third with parking brake on. Does car stall?
    • When driving in 4th/5th suddenly floor the accelerator, does revs go up but car doesn't respond?

    Can you explain how the car reacted to the tests, so others can know in the future.

    It's only a clutch. A small issue in the grand scheme of thing. The mileage has little bearing on when a clutch needs to be changed. A clutch is a wearable part, It's more down to driving style than anything else. 110k km is not bad going. You could burn out a clutch in a day if you set your mind to it. I once knew of an OAP who had to get a clutch changed on their car at 7k miles.
