With mine, I could put the trans in 1st gear, but had to be VERY forceful with it. With engine not running it went to 1st easily. Reverse grinded everytime.
The machinist said that the flywheel was one of the worst he ever saw, and it was a brand name Hays, so yes, an offshore flywheel could be an issue. For nearly two years I tried everything to fix the issue. Had the trans out several times, different height throw-out bearings, forks, linkage, etc. Tried anything to get more of a disengagement, and I did get more, but it was never enough to fully cure the problem. I did use a different clutch/pp, but the issue was the flywheel. The original clutch/pp went into a different car soon after and had no issues.
Now I'm not going to say that the flywheel is definitely your problem, but just pointing out that you shouldn't overlook it.
