Default problem...maybe my clutch is worn out?

well i installed a new clutch on my gsr back in nov 02....its a exedy brand and now my car seems like it has no power when i accelerate....barely pushes...only happens when my car is hot...say like when i drive it at high rpms and it gets hot... at first it does accelerate normally when i just start driving it for the first time during that particular day but then once its hot...especially during the day, it feels like im driving a 50HP car lol....some mechanic told me that my clutch is worn out.. just started happening lately...and it happened before then i replaced the clutch in nov 02 and the old clutch was worn out, didnt have this problem again until now...any suggestions? or my clutch is out again? man i dont wanna replace it! its so much (and yea i do accelerate a lot) so i guess that wears the clutch down fast =X

Coast at about 20mph, gas it and drop it into 5th gear. The rev should drop and the car will bog if the clutch is catching. If it the revs stay high the clutch is slipping.

i dont think its your clutch, cause it hasnt been over a year since you got it, unless your a bad clutch driver and ride it.
do you have a short ram intake? do you have aftermarket headers?
the engine bay gets hot after a couple minutes of driving and air going into your intake may be hot air instead of cold. Just a possibility
i noticed it when i had a short ram air intake.

Not sure on the year...have you tried adjusting your clutch? Sounds stupid but it might help depending on if it's cable or not...i'm not sure if you can adjust a hydro like you would a cable. My .02.
