I connected the battery directly to the motor and it was still slipping. I took apart the gear box and then the clutch. Turns out that the clutch is worn. It has worn grooves in between the pockets where the ball bearings reside.
For reference for others: The Resistance of the motor is about 0.4 Ohms +/- 0.1 Ohm. This makes sense since it is supposed to draw ~30A from 12v.
Thanks for being proactive and posting the motor resistance.

Any chance you can post pictures of the worn items?
