New clutch slipping in 1st and 2nd gear only?

so i took my car to a local tuner, and he notified me that my clutch was 1000% gone(stock) i bought and and installed a new exedy stg 2 4 pluck clutch and my car only to find out its doing the same thing, slipping in first and 2nd gear. i did the 5th gear test and it didnt slip. i also replaced the clutch slave and bled the clutch system, and still nothing.....

any ideas or help is greatly appreciated. also sorry if i posted this in the wrong place, as im still a noob

Something goofy here. A clutch always slips in the higher gears first.

Sounds like you glazed the clutch very common on pucks not knowing how to drive them properly!!

No, Drive it around for another 500 miles around town. Also go ahead and bleed/re-bleed the clutch line for *****-n-giggles.

Also did you adjust the clutch pedal after the install?

Yes I did adjust the pedal, I have no thread coming out of the nut on the clutch pedal. So clutch engages pretty high up.

If your meaning my comments im not saying its normal.
Its not good for the clutch to be slipping.

When you drive you cant be gentle or slow on the clutch.
U want the clutch to bite into the pressure plate and grab not slip against it ( this will cause glazing.

Its hard to explain via txt

If you think that the clutch is installed properly and the flywheel was also replaced then the problem must lie in another part of your drive-train. I would guess the transfer-case.
