Sounds like a slipping clutch the M56lL 5 speed has no external adjustments so it's not a linkage issue. Usually the inspection port has a rubber plug in it on the top front of the transmission near the engine, you look inside through one of the gaps in the pressure plate to see how much pad is left on the clutch. But most likely it's just a worn clutch disk, or glazed pressure plate. Either way your going to need to have a mechanic replace the clutch assembly for you since its a tricky operation requiring special tools. I hope this helps!
