Ford Tempo Clutch Problem

I just put a fly wheel in about 5 months ago and everything went good no problems at all. I was going down the highway doing 55mph and all the sudden the car just stopped pulling no sound at all no smoking all the guages are fine had oil in it, but it did have a little bit to much tranny fluid but not enough to hurt anything what should i do please help.

If it is not slipping it will probably be okay. Any amount of oil is bad. Try to spray some brake cleaner at it with the inspection cover removed while someone holds the clutch to the floor.
All you can do is hope it does not start slipping. Eventually the clutch plate that has oil in it will wear off.
