How was it overheating?

If the fan comes on then it shouldn't over heat no matter how long its left.

You should be able to tell if the clutch is slipping because the revs will rise without the cars speed.

Change the gearbox oil if you dont know when it was changed before (always good practice), and adjust the linkage as said.
