Clutch Slipping

I had my clutch replaced, OEM about 15K miles ago. I noticed recently that when I rev the car out from a stop, the clutch slips as if I'm not letting the clutch all the way up. It seems fine any other time, except at high revs. I don't know if I have a faulty clutch or what. My 96 Max had 135K on the original clutch and I didn't have this issue.

Thanks as always for input/suggestions.

was it broken in properly? Did you have the flywheel resurfaced?

Yes, flywheel was re-surfaced. Thats actually why I had the clutch replaced in the first place. When I bought the car, the clutch was shuddering, the flywheel needed to be resurfaced. While they had it all apart for that, I had them replace everything.

Did you buy the Nissan key value clutch? My car is in the shop getting a used transmission put in today and I told them to use OEM Nissan parts when replacing the clutch. Of course, they called the Nissan parts guy and he recommended the key value clutch which is trash. I had him order the OEM clutch parts one by one instead of getting the key value kit. It only costs about 50 bucks more and Im pretty sure that I won't be in the same situation that you're in now. This time don't get the key value if you did before.
