Default Hydraulic Possibly pressure Plate (HELP)

Ok, So about month ago I had the infamous keys in my transmission go out and got stuck in 4th gear. So had my (Local Shop / good friend) fix the issue beautifully. Soon after my slave went out. So we dropped the everything again and change the the slave and the master while we were at it. So heres were the fun part begins. The night before when he put the slave in he said it was working.I asked him to change the plugs and change the oil before i got it back cause i needed those things anyways. So after he does that he jumps back in to start the my vet up and it feels like it lost pressure and won't go into gear. So the next day I show up to help him bleed the lines few more times to see if here was any air, There was very tiny bit. So after repeating that process for hour. He asks me how the clutch feels pressure wise, let me remind you the car was off, the clutch felt pretty good held pressure and was pretty stiff how it should feel. So he tells me to start her up, So i start her up and press the clutch to throw her into first and it feels like the clutch lost pressure and it won't go into gear. I should say as well that i pumped the clutch while the car was on and did not build pressure.

I don't know what this could be other than maybe the Pressure plate is Bad? But the Clutch and the Pressure plate have less than 2k miles on them and the fly wheel had just been resurfaced.

Please help!!!

only thing I can think of is did he shim the slave cylinder? tick performance has the step by step on their site on how to measure for the correct gap.
