Especially considering that you were having issues from the very beginning but did not bother to take it to a professional. I'd guess you messed up the install, the shop found the error but said nothing and happily installed the new part.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around how a clutch and flywheel could prevent the engagement of 1st gear. Care to explain?
Or it was a faulty pressure plate, which don't show their face without testing them on a machine, or it had improper geometry which doesn't show it's face without knowing exactly oem specs and measuring against them.

Why are people so quick to blame some dude having issues. The DSM epidemic of crankwalk was mostly caused by the popularity of a very heavy pressure plate they ran very often by none other than ACT.
