Need Help - Clutch System

Ok i have a 1990 305 tbi camaro rs with a 5 speed transmission out of an 87 camaro rs. Engine is not stock.

Then engine is a 350tbi out of a 1994 silverado vin k.

Just recently the clutch started slipping so i replaced the clutch, pressure plate, pilot bearing, throwout bearing, and the flywheel set up for a stock 1990 camaro rs 305 tbi.

the pressure plate and clutch are oem replacement and the flywheel is an oem replacement reman (thats my guess on the flywheel since it was a 100$ core charge nothing else.)

When i put these parts in and put them in correctly. the transmission would not shift through the gears even using the clutch. I could start the car in gear but the it would not come out of gear by using the clutch pedal either.
I figured it would be the slave cylinder due to noticing what looking like brake fluid where the rod rests in the slave cylinder. replaced and tried again with same result. Changed the master cylinder just in case it was bad due to it being old since it looked like the original one. Same result even after excessive bleeding. the rod pushes the clutch fork 1/2 inches which i have been told is a good operating length. Please help. I do not know what is wrong or could be wrong. I dont know if it could be the flywheel due to it not being stock for a 94 silverado or if its just faulty parts. Please give me any insight possible. (ps. if driven car will start in gear but has a slight push as if clutch is not in all the way and if on a hill will not roll when the car has the clutch pushed in.)

Could be a bad/bent clutch fork or was replaced upside down

Doesn't matter what sheet metal the motor was wrapped in before; won't affect the flywheel.

Most likely the throwout is on the fork incorrectly.

As you look at your picture and you see the metal bracket holding the throwout bearing. mine was loose. this could possibly be the problem?

any just fyi. the car ran fine before replacing the new goods. the reason i took apart and replaced was because the clutch was slipping.
