New clutch slips

[Grant]

I just got my new clutch installed, its a factory nissan, but I already felt the thing slip twice. like couple times during city driving (TRAFFIC), what the #### could be wrong? I plan to bring it back to the mechanic, but it happens like almost rarely, but anyone have an idea whats the problems? I'm frikking pisssed off right now. PLEASE HELP

1) Flywheel not resurfaced (usually they do).

2) Oil / Grease stains caught to the flywheel or clutch disc due to dirty hands.

3) Clutch not disengaging properly, caught half way.  Could need pedal adjustment or check slave cylinder.

thanks.  The clutch pedal does feel softer, the car kind of gets shaky when I'm engaging in first gear (if i do it slowly.. my old one didnt). and engagement point seems different. could it be the throw out bearing?
