Gordy,

It's possible that the brake cleaner on the clutch disc hasn't fully
dried/evaporated.  I recently went through a clutch replacement fiasco
(incompatible parts), and had to clean the oiled-down disc w/ some
brake cleaner and reassemble everything to get it out of the (out of
town) shop and back home.  It slipped pretty bad for a few days, but
now is working fine...  Drive it as much as you can this week, get
some heat into it, and hopefully it'll be alright by next weekend...

HTH,

Mark.
