My Clutch is slipping, even when driving at speed... It also make a "skweek" noise when engaging it... Is this a job I can do myself? "I have zero experience"

Yes you can do it yourself, but it is preferable to have to have 2 or 3 mates round to help drop the transfer case and gearbox and put them back again.
Abbreviated process is:
Spraypaint chassis where TC and GB are mounted Remove propshafts Remove interiors covers on centre console Undo donut Remove TC Remove gear lever (outer nuts only) and cover hole to prevent dirt getting inside Remove GB (have fun with the bolts on the dust cover for the bell housing and starter motor) Remove Clutch Insert and align clutch If you have a thrust washer (recommended), remove bellhousing from GB and replace thrust washer (saves having to do it at a later stage, if doing this drain the oil first and fill up once reinstalled in car with 80w90 GL 5 oil, 1.35 litres I think) Replace GB Replace TC Align TC and GB to existing marks spray painted earlier Re-attach propshafts Re attach gear lever Replace car interior and you on your way.
You can adjust the clutch at the slave cylinder. Think you need a 13 and 17 spanner, try that before replacing the clutch. When getting a clutch ensure you get a thrust bearing as they have stopped selling those with clutch kits as far as I know.
If you need help with it and get to Roodepoort I am more than willing to assist, PM me. Would take 4 to 6 hours

While you are at it, replace the clutch release(Thrust) bearing as well. It may be included in the Clutch replacement kit that you buy. Jan explains the procedure in hi "how-to".
Depending on mileage and wear, it may also be necessary to have the flywheel skimmed. A good indicator would be visible scoremarks on the face of the flywheel
Good luck

And replace the pilot bearing, which is a cheap part.
