did you break it in properly? usually when you have a new clutch, its best to stay below 3500rpm and dont do any hard launches for about 500-600 miles. also check to see if you have any fluid in your master cylinder.

Also, did you resurface/have resurfaced your flywheel when you replaced the clutch?

resurfacing could be your problem! when you dont resurface the clutch disc doesnt sit flush on the flywheel.

Also, if your clutch is a cheap or organic clutch.... they usually don't last long with abuse.

you might have a rear main leak. oil leaking onto the clutch plate would cause it to slip. was there oil all around the pivot fork?
