Could be a number of things...not broken in properly, not installed correctly, or it may even be the wrong clutch for car. If it's not being broken in properly you could be glazing the clutch.

this may be a newbie question, but how do u break in the clutch? like i understand breaking in the engine, not revving too high, but the clutch you're gonna have to press down the same amount either way

Well basically when you break in a clutch, you want to drive for about 500 miles. That's stop and go driving, NOT a continuous driving. No hard launches or speed/power shifting, in other words no racing. It's better if the RPMs are kept kind of low when shifting.
