I have installed a new clutch and four finger pressure plate and after about 1:30 min of driving 50 mph with no load she'll start to slip on long hills. I'm stumped.

1. Trans or rear seal leaking?
2. Proper freeplay on clutch linkage? 1.5" of freeplay on pedal before throwout bearing contacts the fingers?

Was there a sticker or pinted on label that said "flywheel side" on the disc?

I installed a new rear main seal. And no visible transmission leaks were visible and yes the pressure plate was resurfaced

It could be an adjustment issue. I'd double check that and go from there.

I'm gonna check in to the oil on the disk it's the only thing that makes since. The drain hole is dry but I'll take the throw out bearing inspection cover off and I'll know more

No there were no blocks in the kit when I got it I had to install my own blocks before I could install the pressure plate.

there is no front seal. all front leaks are almost always traced back to bad front bearing and damaged or loose or no gasket front bearing retainer. if it leaks with proper oil level, bottom of fill hole, there is something wrong at front bearing.
