Did the mechanic have the flywheel resurfaced?
If it won't go into gear with the engine running, then you've got a problem with hydraulics, arm, the pilot bushing, or maybe the springs popped out of the disc.
I had a similar problem...I went with a cheap exedy clutch when I did my five-speed swap and someone else drove it before I did. They did drive it rather roughly.
The clutch started slipping a few weeks later so I adjusted the MC which helped the problem for awhile. The clutch almost completely failed shortly after. I replaced it with an OE one from carquest and made sure nobody else drove my car until the clutch was well out of the break-in period. That clutch worked fine for a year-and-a-half until several of the springs broke free.
