Do the magical 1st to 5th test. Get on a straight flat road with no traffic, put it in first and run it up to 4000/5000rpms and then quickly shift into 5th and floor it. If the engine bogs down and almost dies then your ok but if the Rpms skyrocket then you have problems. You put in a new clutch correct? Did you put on a new flywheel or resurface the old one as well?
