Clutch still slipping after Replacement

IT's been a while since I have posted a question to you, my fellow SAABers, so please forgive if this is a recent thread...
I noticed several months back that my clutch had begun to slip in 3rd, 4th and 5th gears (more slip occurs at higher gears and more boost)
So, I bought a Centerforce clutch for my car, got new pilot bearing, got new throwout, new seals, new slave cylinder and turned the flywheel (It was in great shape and I think it's still in spec, how can one tell?), I used a shop press to compress the clutch and used the SAAB spacer tool to install.
The installation went perfectly, and I have driven the car in the city and the highway over 500 miles, however the slippage is now getting even worse that before. IN-Fact, it was about the same as the old clutch slip-factor right after the new clutch was installed! Plus to be even more confusing, the old clutch had PLENTY of wear left on it, as did the pressure plate!
I am totally miffed! Any takers for this mystery????
Thanks and Blessings,
