I'm in the middle of driving to my dad's house and the car hit a point where it felt like I downshifted. I keep going and now it's getting worse. I pulled over cause im worried about getting stranded on the side of the road. Is my clutch going out?

Your engine is probably loosing power rather than thinking the clutch is slipping in 5 th gear. When a clutch slips, your RPM increase without seeing speed increase.
What could be causing that? I'm about 60 miles from home now
I'm guessing it happened suddenly. Just guessing something happened to the lambda and now your engine is running lean to cause power loss. Do you still have a stock RPM relay? Do you have any tools with you?
Stock rpm relay and I got some open end wrenches. I'm currently at a truck stop.
Can you tell if the FV is buzzing when the engine is running? Since I'm just guessing the lambda stopped, would not want to suggest a fix if it's working anyway.
What is the FV?
Also picture of the rpm relay. 2 prongs look somewhat toasty

FV is frequency valve. Under the air cleaner on passenger side valve cover. If it's not buzzing (engine running) try banging that RPM relay a little and see if it buzzes after you do that.
Will do. In the meantime, this probably isn't helping. I did try finding one at parts store a while ago but no match

I beat a lot of dust out of it as well
A 60 mile drive home without the air cleaner probably would not hurt anything.
