Or how I can tell if it needs it at all?

You have a manual transmission, which means if it slips internally, it's totally destroyed.
See if you can pull the release fork a bit by hand. If the master is releasing pressure properly, when the pedal's up you should be able to push the slave in a little bit with a few pounds of force, one hand.
Otherwise, it sounds like you haven't worn your new clutch in - new clutches often don't fully engage or disengage until you've let it slip some, but don't overheat it - this is why they talk about a "gentle" break in period - don't just sit and smoke it, but let it slip plenty when you take off, in between plenty of cool-down time.
Do you smell it?
You did a clutch but never changed the tranny fluid?
