Default 5th Gear Slipping

So finally got my clutch working, etc. etc.

Get on the freeway to break in my motor before I get it tuned. And after about 30 miles 5th gear starts slipping every so often. Then we make a pit stop, fill up on gas, check the oil. Get back on the freeway and it does it about every 20 seconds, making it impossible to continue.

What are possible problems?

It already had 1000 miles on it. Pressure plate came with the clutch I bought.

Its a b16 motor. I am going to try and fill the tranny fluid.

your tranny fluid wont have any effect on your clutch.
which exedy is it?? honestly, it is probably your clutch cant handle the power of your turbo.... and VTEC!!! sorry i had to.
it will start slipping in 5th, the worse it gets, it will then start to slip in 4th and then 3rd. i just replaced my centerforce dual friction (it blows) with a clutchnet 6 puck sprung and heavy duty pp and its awesome!

good luck
