[Healeys] Clutch-transmission issue

I installed a lightened Denis Welch flywheel and throw-out bearing 
along with BJ8 clutch disk and housing which is all supposed to work 
together. However there are some issues I don't understand.

The first motion shaft will rotate in neutral which I think is normal.

When I depress the clutch pedal (it is bleed properly) I can engage 
the transmission in first or second gear only when the pedal is about 
1/2 way through its travel. If I floor the clutch pedal the first 
motion shaft starts to turn and I cannot shift into gear without grinding

I cannot shift into reverse or third and forth. I could when the 
transmission was on the bench and ready to reinstall.

Any ideas of what I should trouble shoot?

TIA,
