Clutch slipping in 2nd, above 4000 rpm?

Consequently, 2nd is the torquiest gear I got (with the stock rear end).

How can that be? 1st gear ratio is 3.35:1 and 2nd gear is 1.93:1
Multiply each of those numbers times the axle ratio and that gives you the total gear ratio for those two gears....see what I mean? 1st gear will always be the torquiest gear.
I'm not trying to make an *** out of you(you know I'm not) but mathematically 2nd being the torquiest doesn't add up.

It doesn't do it in 1st???
With that many miles I'm willing to bet the clutch is bad unless the last owner replaced it at some point which I'm beginning to doubt.
