hard shifting after new clutch

as i said in the title, after installing a new stock clutch turning flywheel pilot bearing, everything, it is hard to get truck in gear without straining on the stick or going into third or fifth then into first. high speed shifts are no problem, this only happens from a dead stop or low speed. any help greatly appreciated.

Is there any chance too much material was taken off the flywheel? Maybe someone can chime in for the actual specs on how much you can take off of it, but if the clutch is dragging a bit that will make low speed shifting tougher. If you can narrow it down to that a small spacer under the pivot ball (or a new one if the old one was worn) could do the trick. Good luck.
