    Slipping Clutch?

    I just returned from another little trip to the shack and found once travelled for say 100k's, I put my foot down and the revs increase more than the car and than drop back and car accelerates as per normal.
    Its a new complete clutch and flywheel machining 10k km's ago.
    Should it be slipping already, bad plate or crappy install?
    Bad luck or normal.
    It does not happen under normal driving, just after car is well and truly warm/hot.
    I drive sedately, its a S1 Disco tdi manual(obviously).

    Anyone else had this happen.

    It certainly should not be slipping at that mileage unless it has been really seriously abused. Possibly it is getting oil on it from either the engine rear crankshaft seal or the front gearbox seal, or more likely, there is no free play on the clutch master cylinder pushrod, possibly because the lock nut on this was not tightened adequately and it has moved. Other possibilities would include a sticking clutch pedal, broken or missing return spring, or a sticking master cylinder.
