That would depend on whether it's a pressure-plate problem or a glazed clutch disc. Also whether or not it's oil-soaked or just worn out. How many miles on your 20-year-old car's clutch? If it's not slipping in top gear under load, just keep driving it normally and see if it improves.
That spells the #1 rule of buying a car with spotty service records: don't/shouldn't have. 192k on the car, but the clutch has been strong the whole time through, and the vehicle has been driven gently, maybe one start over 1.5k per week if that. Took it out for a drive last night and pulled some SC downshifts, and everything seemed fine. I hope all is well.
