Default Del sol clutch problem

I replaced the clutch on my sol because i thought it was slipping. So I replace my clutch on my d15 del sol and resurfaced the fly wheel and all that . So I have had it on my car on my car for a month and in order for the clutch to engage I needed to take the clutch almost all the way out and when I'm on the highway for a while and downshift to go up a hill it seems to slip and just rev up and I have to let go of the gas so it can engage again . Help on what it could be :/

No it couldn't. Nor could it be the slave cylinder. They only release/disengage the clutch.

If it's slipping it's worn past the service limit, or it's contaminated with oil/grease/transmission fluid etc. I don't suppose you have picture of the clutch you replaced?

I don't know we're it's at at the moment but it still had life and don't see why it would slip.
Well when I replaced it I made sure everything was clean and put the cover back on the transmission . Unless my tranny is going out ?

Now we're jumping to the transmission? If the clutch is slipping then it's the clutch. That is, unless you don't actually know what a slipping clutch actually feels like. I say this because you say it "seems" to slip. Trust me. If your clutch was actually slipping, you'd know it.

Well the clutch is maybe 1000 miles in so I don't see why it would be slipping

There would only be two reasons. Both of them listed in post #4. If you didn't break the clutch in properly you probably glazed it all to hell. Either way you have to pull the transmission to inspect.
