Strange Clutch Problem

So I have searched and found threads with similar issues but none of them where ever resolved.

About a week ago I had my clutch installed and after two days of driving im now locked out of every gear upon start up and anytime I sit in neutral.

The strange things are: if I start the car in gear and drive off it shifts like a dream, if i never let off the clutch pedal it shifts like a dream, if after sitting and I get locked out all I have to do is rev the engine between 3k and 4k and it will glide in like butter and the strangest of them all is if the A/C is on, the car shifts after sitting but just a little notchy.

Anyone have any ideas as to why it is like this?

I would start by adjusting your clutch pedal/ rod. It sounds like it is probably dragging. Good luck.

what do you mean by the clutch shifter linkage? what am i looking for because i can get in there and move them through the gears by hand and its smooth as can be.
ive adjusted the pedal exactly how in the video for the dsm's
i even went as far as bleeding the system and pushing the slave cyl rod back to get as much air out as possible befor retightening.
