Default still slipping

When I got my accord it need a new clutch and rifht half shaft. I bought all the parts and had them installed by a local tuning shop. I broke her in like youre suppose to after ward. Her we are 1300 miles later and it feels like the new clutch is still slipping when passed 3k rpm. It starts screaming and bouncing, loses power until I shift gears. Any suggestions

Did you replace the flywheel? If not what was it turned to by the machine shop?

I would check that there is no interference which could keep the clutch pedal from fully releasing. There should be some (not much) free play at the pedal's top-of travel. If this is not present, it could keep the pressure plate from fully engaging - thus the slip.

Was the clutch replaced because it was slippin before? If it was, and it was slipping A LOT; then some attention should have been directed at the flywheel. Under prolonged slipping conditions, excessive heat builds up - and the flywheel developes hot spots which actually can deform the friction surface. This will NOT cause slipping but it will cause chattering and uneven clutch engagement.

Hope this helps
