As Garth said, check your adjustment. ANY new clutch will need wholesale adjustments of the entire system because the parts are never exactly the same thickness. I've seen some Pantera clutches that 'slipped' a little with a new clutch because they ran two or more splines too much preload on the external bellcrank release mechanism. The adjustment procedure in in your Red Owners Manual and is a good place to start. There's also good info in the TSB listings.
