New Clutch Install Problems!

Hello,
I have recently had a clutch installed on my car but we are having problems with it.
The problem:
At first the car is fine, it will go into gears smoothly and drive nicely as it used to, but after driving a couple of miles and warming up suddenly the car will refuse to go into most gears, particularly first. This problem has only happened since the clutch install and we can't figure out the problem. We have bled the clutch and tried replacing the clutch slave, still having the problem, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Car Info:
Mitsubishi GTO Non Turbo Japanese Import
3.0L V6
1992
Approx 75000 miles
Thanks!

Does the amount of free play in the clutch pedal change as the problem surfaces?

There isn't much question that the clutch is not releasing all the way but the question is why. Make sure the fluid line isn't routed near hot exhaust but you're probably going to have to pull that clutch out for examination.

There is no adjustment with a hydraulic clutch.

No, I doubt it has anything to do with the master or slave. The only thing that ever goes wrong with them is they leak. I'm thinking it was an installation problem like lack of lubrication in the right places or even defective parts.

I'd suggest getting a second opinion from another shop.
