Default Clutch slipping question - HELP PLEASE!

Ever since I got my Cobra on the road about a month or so ago, I noticed the clutch seemed to be slipping.

It seems to slip a little going into each gear when I get on it AND seems to slip a little while I'm adding gas to go up a hill. I've adjusted it three times now & of course I bled it when I installed the slave cylinder. The pedal free play seems okay.

Since it's slipping a little going up a hill, I think the problem may not be an adjustment or air in the system but the pressure plate. Unfortunately I don't know what brand pressure plate or clutch it is, when I bought it locally, I just told them I needed one for a 289 with a T-5. I'm thinking I bought a "generic" clutch & pressure plate that I probably shouldn't have. Maybe I need a stronger pressure plate?

If so, any recommendations?

Please steer me in the right direction if I'm going down the wrong path. I don't have much experience with transmission/clutches/pressure plates, but I want to learn.

Thanks,
Randy
