My clutch slips a bit in my 85 turbo , but I think it's just age. For a brand new clutch to be slipping already:

A: It was a very cheap brand of clutch

B: The clutch slave cylinder (on the trans) is not releasing all the way

C: You have a rear main seal leak or a trans front seal leak. Check both your engine and trans fluid levels. Oil on the clutch face will make it slip , and will have permanently contaminated the lining by now. Replacement will be required.

That's the most common problems , there's some more exotic stuff. The pressure plate may have gone bad , or the bolts are loose , but it's likely you'd feel some kind of vibration with that.
