Trans slipping

I have a '93 3.0 4x4 Ranger with a manual trans. Just yesterday, the trans started slipping - revs high and slowly begins to move. Just two weeks ago I had the clutch slave replaced and asked how the clutch looked - mechanic said it was in good shape. So if the clutch is ok, what could be causing such a problem?

Just a WAG, but maybe some air in the lines?

Check the bottom of the bell housing, if there is brake fluid there your slave is leaking and possibly spraying fluid onto the clutch and the shop that did the work needs to go back into it and do it right this time.
First check the fluid level in the clutch master cylinder.
The clutch should still be good but will need a serious cleaning with brake cleaner.

What's a WAG? The fluid level is fine.

Wild guess

and yeah, if someone worked on it a week ago, I would be suspect of the work first.
