New Clutch slipping

I installed a new clutch last winter. I had some other issues with the car so I did not drive it that much. The other issues are fixed and now this. I replaced the flywheel with a new GM replacement and the clutch is a clutchnet yellow set up. While I had the tranny out I replaced the rear main seal and the oil pan gasket. It has maybe 300 easy miles on it. It did not slip when I first put it in and drove it around. I took it out yester day and if you give it more gas then I would say 25% it will spin up in all gears, even less in 5th and 6th on the highway. Just looking for ideas on what I should look for besides oil/tranny fluid on the disk. There is no leak under the car that is showing on the bottom of the pan or tranny (Just installed new hearders, and y-pipe)

Thanks,
Derek

Re: New Clutch slipping

Well just to update this in case anybody else runs into the same issue. I finally had a chance to pull the clutch out and ship it back to clutchnet. It looked brand new with no fluid contamination and it was not burnt. I sent it back to Clutchnet and they said the kevlar clutch facing material was crushed from the modified pressure plate that it was simulating a completely worn disk. He gave me the specs believe it measured .29 inches and it was .329 when he originally sent it to me. He said he had never seen it before but was going to speak with the company that manufactures the facing for him. He sent me another disk and all is well so far.
