It could cause alot of problems, You have to let your flywheel and clutch disk get to know each other for a while. On average I let my clutchs break in for 500 miles at a minimum before I even get into it. meaning no launches, no dumping the clutch for burn outs, and no redline runs lol. It just sounds to be the clutch is having grip problems. did you also get the flywheel resurfaced?

proly the cheapest/ quickest thing you could do would be bleed the clutch to make sure it doesnt have air bubbles trapped in it. theres also a possibility that the clutch slave cylinder or master cyl is going bad

whats the best way to see if the slave cylinder is good??
and i bled the clutch already so thats good
fluids are good as well
this motor is a PIA!!
