a regular clutch last about 4-7 years. your car old is that means your clutch has been slipping. You might want to get a new clutch

If you slave cylinder is bad, your clutch wont be stiff, it would be the opposite, it would be completely loose

The Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) should be towards the tail of the transmission. All that now-a-days is electronic, so it's either the sensor or the gauge needle. I would try the sensor first.

It doesn't have a speedo cable. As of 1990, they're electric.
