Default clutch slipping

Good morning all.

I am riding a 1994 Electraglide Classic (FLHTC).

My bike has 70 miles (106 kilometers) on it.

In the last week or so, my gears were changing rather hard (hard to find neutral and such). Also, when I accelerated hard, the engine spins up but the bike doesn't grab right away.
I made some adjustments at the handlebar with the clutch cable but this only heped a bit.

I went under the clutch cover and made some adjustments with the clutch adjustment screw and now the gerars change great BUT the slippage is still there.

Question: Does this sound like its something I should be able to adjust or is it sounding like a new clutch (or something else) is required?

Thanks in advance.

A 1994 with only 70 miles on it?
