Clutch Question

I put a new clutch kit in my 92 hatch (because it was slipping really bad and pretty much would not drive), then the slave cylinder and master cylinder needed to be replaced too so they were. My problem is the clutch is still slipping a little bit, did my mechanic not replace the parts correctly? or could there be a different problem? Any help would be great, Thanks.

If you have an organic clutch there's going to be a break in period where it won't fully grip, if it's still slipping after about a week then you have a problem. It could also be slipping because your flywheel has been machined twice.

when i got a new clutch for my 240 i went out and raced and was doin burnouts and donuts and **** with it and it started slipping and burning up and i had to get a new clutch heh.
the next clutch i broke in by driving it about 400 miles regularly without racing and stuff and now my clutch is fine.

And that's why clutch break-in is required.

^yea good thing my friend works at the auto parts store and ruled my clutch defective and i got a new one
the first time i had it done by a mechanic and i asked him to tow my car when my clutch started slipping and i was like man i shoulda broke it in and he said you dont have to brake clutches in. the 2nd time i put the clutch in myself and with my cousin. the mechanic that did my clutch didnt even ****ing bleed my clutch in my car and when i first drove it home i died out cuz my clutch was so damn light and i could barely feel it.
but yea i was a dumb **** the way i burnt out my first new clutch. and i think ur clutch is going to keep slipping until it goes out but i dont know maybe its diff from mines i dunno much about the my 240 thats y i signed up for this forum.

what kind of clutches do you all have? Im thinking of getting an act-$350 or a jgy-$300, but i saw this proclutch guy on ebay and he has a stage 3- ceramic, 2200lbs, thought and everything for $190. It's gotta be too good to be true. has anyone heard of him or used that clutch b4?
