Default Slipping clutch

@ low RPM and high throttle, the rpms climb like an 800 hp monster, which of course i do not have. When i replaced the clutch I noticed a rear main seal leak, but wasn't too worried about it, I just wanted my car back together. So now I get to rip the tranny out and replace the seal. Stupid me.

pity me

A leaky rear main seal can kill a clutch in a heart beat. You have likely gotten oil on the disc and this has lead to slippage. There is nothing worse than doing an install twice but I think that this is your only options. Good luck to you!
