Question clutch problems?!?!?!?

alright so i just got an evo 8. i had to replace the clutch so i got a stage 2 spec clutch kit. i had a professional at the shop install it. now it wont go into any gear apparently the pressure plate isnt releasing enough. i already tried adjusting the clutch pedal from underneath the steering wheel. that only made a small difference. so im assuming the throw out bearing and the housing around isnt releasing enough for it to go in gear. or the guy who installed the clutch put the clutch on backwards (flywheel side on the pressure plate side and vice versa). OR maybe he didnt lube the bearing and the axle right so its catching? i really dont know what to believe. has anyone ever had thisproblem before?

or spec sent the wrong stuff..

we stopped using spec because they built us the first MR clutch and had the same issue... then we had pressure plate issues...

Didn't this professional road test the car after the clutch job? How did he pull it out of the shop? Looks to me like something's up with the throw out bearing.
