    If you are having clutch chatter now or have heated it up badly then it's probably not OK to use as is. Since you mention it just started slipping you're most likely OK, a good scuff with a sanding disk 150/200 grit or so GARNET paper to remove the glaze and button 'er up. Easy on the new clutch for a day too.
