Have you checked the transmission fluid and filter? It might be due to low oil level. Other than that, it sounds like your clutch pack is excessively worn.
I have a 1979 3CIII with Powertrain transmission which used to have a similar problem. Changing the oil and filter certainly helped but you have to remember that your machine is nearly 25 years old.
