Question Clutch Problems

What am I doing, or not doing correctly? I set the free play at about 1/2"-3/4". Everything is brand new. It seems like when you push on the pedal, it has to be on the floor, and it still doesn't completely release the clutch disc. I have the grandma 4 spd., a Borg and Beck clutch and pressure plate, and the fly wheel has been turned. Getting it to go into 1st(2nd) gear, it grinds a little. And when you shift to 2nd(3rd) you have to work it into gear. When you shift from 2nd(3rd) to 3rd(4th) gear, it seems okay. In 1st gear, on flat ground, when you have the clutch pedal to the floor it still wants to creep forward. It's a real bear to get it in reverse. It almost feels like a part of the linkage is to short, and you don't have enough throw to disengage the clutch? Any help would be appreciated. Thanx in advance.
