Either your clutch isn't fully engaging, or your accidentally got lubricant on the clutch face. Either way, only way you can determine and correct is to take it apart. If you had it done, take it back NOW!!!!
Long shot, I had a problem with cooling fluid dripping from the back of my Dynamic Air Chamber. At the same time, I was having a similar problem. When I replaced the Chamber with a good used one, the slipping went away. Coincidence??

Clutch disk installed the wrong way. Seems like I checked once and it wouldn't fit.
Pressure plate bolts not tight.
Trans not fully mated to the engine. (small gap between engine and trans).
Throwout bearing not fully releasing.
Previously mentioned fluid on the clutch.
Could be lots of things.
What parts are new which parts are old?

Im assuming the pressure plate is good and tight. You probably just got the disc wet or greasy, and it will wear off. IT is possible your pressure plate is defective, and not clamping fully, but if its new this is unlikely. If it doesnt fix itself in a few days(oil on disc wearing off) then you should probably take it back apart and exchange your parts again, mainly the pressure plate.
