Clutch woes

So as a last resort i am going to remove tranny and start all over. Here is the story from start to finish i had a southbend clutch that i broke the center so i got a new instaled it and have had trouble ever since. The clutch was a 12" and i went to a 13" and it will hardly go in to gear and it will not go in reverse. It has a new tranny new clutch new hydros so what else could it be i hope someone can help.

Was the flywheel resurfaced for a 13'' clutch?

all new hydraulics you said?

Check the length of you new slave cylinder rod compared to the old one....

My new slave cylinder, the rod was too short and wasn't allowing to clutch to disengage all the way.I simply took the rod out of the old slave cyilnder and put it in the new slave cylinder and clutch works perfect now
