For the starting problem it would seem like the clutch interlock safety switch, for some reason, is not working. Look under the dash at the clutch linkage and you should see the switch, make sure that the clutch linkage bushings are good and that there is no firewall flex when the clutch pedal is pushed.
If you want you could jump the two wires at the switch to bypass it.
For the shifting problem are you sure that the clutch plate was fitted the right way round? Also check the pedal bushings, as above and also the firewall for flexing.

Bleeding a Concentric Hydraulic Clutch Set-up .: Articles Also have a read here. It can sometimes be difficult to get all the air out of the hydraulic system.
