82 242 DL - clutch slip or O/D? 200 1982

I just bought a beautiful '82 242. When the engine is cool, I can engage the O/D and as long as I don't push it, the car cruises along happily. If I have to go up a hill, or get off the gas to slow down, I can feel it slip. As it warms up, it seems to engage less and less.

It's heat-related, and I've looked at a lot of the O/D threads. I figured I'd check the connections, and I have an '84 with the same unit that works like a charm so I can just switch them if needed. I have access to a lift, and transmission jack. But lately, I've noticed a shuddering in 2nd gear when accelerating, and I'm wondering if it's the O/D, the clutch, or both?

Any suggestions on determining whether I need to do the clutch, too?

If so, any suggestions on which clutch, where to buy?

Thanks,
John
