already slipping... what's that in miles??? hmm, if the clutch was replaced and immediately hammered on, then you could have problems. Clutches require a proper break in procedure like brakes do. What all did you replace? What did the flywheel look like? How hard do you drive the car? I would also make sure there are no oil leaks (trans or engine) that are reaching the clutch assembly.
