The car barely accelerates in one, and i have to stay in 2 to basically get anywhere near a regular driving speed. This has only been happening for about a week or so.
There are only a few reasons for early clutch failure: 1- improperly adjusted clutch upon installation, (assuming an adjustable mechanism) 2- not a complete replacement, where a weak pressure plate is reinstalled on to the vehicle and only the clutch plate is replaced, and 3- poor driving habits where the engine is revved up too high during clutch engagement or constant pressure is kept on the clutch pedal while in gear. there is an outside chance that a hydralic mechanism is not allowing the pressure plate to fully press on the clutch plate, but that is more theoretical than statistical.
You know the clutch is slipping
& continue to drive & ruin that
Now you can do another clutch
service, while your finding the answer
to what your asking
Next car get an automatic & just change
the fluid every 3 years

I had the same issue with the same car....turned out to be my Idle Air Control Valve. The mechanic cleaned it out and so far my car runs fine. Actually, a little better than before. It wound up costing me $88.00 for the mechanic and $45.00 for the tow. Hope this helps you out.
Oh by the way, it would've cost me $475.00 to get the part replaced...

There is a break in period on new transmissions, however it should not be shifting like you described. Shifting is controlled by sensors and solenoids, it is the clutch disks and friction plates that need to be broken in. A number of things could cause a transmission to act like this. You should have them do a whole system scan and find out if there are any faults. It there are, correct them before you damage the transmission.
If it were normal for a car to shift poorly with a new transmission, Honda would never sell any new cars.
Check fluid level and color - If it is burned, take it back immediately.

That is a fault indication for your transmission. I am not positive but I think that indicates a fault in your forth gear solenoid. Your transmission is not going to last very long driving it like that. When you stomp on the gas and it does not accelerate, your clutch discs are slipping and burning. It won't take much of that to ruin them. You may want to take it to a good Honda transmission place. I don't know about the older Hondas, but the newer ones don't have any provision for removing a pan and working on them. They don't even have a line replacable filter.
Check your transmission fluid dipstick. If its not a nice "bright" red color, you are probably burning up your clutches. The darker the fluid, the more contaminated it is.

Robert is 100% on I put my money on not machining the flywheel & using new quality parts & all the rest said
I noticed while driving the car last night that the clutch was chirping if being rev'd higher than normal, if that helps in the diagnosis.
You have to remove the transaxle & do what ever is necessary to resolve the issues your having There is no guessing Even with the car for that problem it has to come apart
