How was 1st and 2nd before the clutch replacement? How does it go into reverse now?
When does the clutch begin to engage as you release it? Does it try to creep foward when at a stop light? If it goes in reverse easily, doesn't creep and begins to engage about an inch off the floor, it's not the clutch. If It is, It probaly still has some air in the line. Make sure the trans is filled to correct level. It would seem unusual to me for the 1st gear synchro to be bad. When was the last time you banged 1st?
