Help!! New clutches slipping
My clutch went out and need to be replaced. I bought all new GM parts and had my mechanic swap it all out. The old clucth had broken springs. New GM clutch, new pressure plate and bolts, new slave, resurfaced flywheel, new master cylinder, basically everything. After it was installed I had no engagement of the clucth. 100% slip even at idle. The mechanic believed it to be either a bad slave or PP. To be safe I bought a new stage 2 clutch/PP from south bend and got a new aftermarket slave. Paid the mechanic a 2nd time to do the clutch. Now that the stage 2 is in the car, it is able to get moving but slips a lot. Once in gear it over revs and slips even at very low load... we are stuck in what could be stopping the pressure plate from hold the clutch firmly to the flywheel.
1. There are no leaks anywhere
2. Flywheel was resurfaced by a reputable shop
3. Mechanic seems to know what he is doing
4. Fluids are at proper level
we inspected the new GM parts that I originally bought to replace the broken clutch at it looks like there are no wear marks. It's almost as if something is stopping everything from sandwiching together. Please help. I know someone on here has the answer I need.

New flywheel that is within spec. I suppose theoretically you could grind down the flywheel surface where the pressure plate mounts the equivalent amount but I don't know what kind of other problems that could cause even when assuming the surface finishes to be perfectly parallel and flywheel balanced.
