Ok, its a 1500 F Kombi engine in my 1970 1500 beetle.

Decided to start slipping slightly after i filled the fuel.

Lately very bad slipping as if the clutch is completely gone.

Took it all off and the clutch looks ok. Can it be the pressure plate losing its 'spring'?

The clutch cable completely disengages and has room to play so its not like its getting stuck or holding the pressure plate.

Heres some pics:

Thanks,

place the presure plate on the floor and push it in with your hand.. if it moves it is stuffed. If it don't stand on it and bounce up and down. If you aren;t a fat ass it should spring a little.

Looks like it is stuffed judging by the marks.
