If it was the right clutch assembly and fitted correctly , you may have a fault with the clutch master cyl and/or slave cyl .

Cant see or understand why flywheel would cause it .Have you tried bleeding clutch again ? You used to get problems with reverse gear crunching on that car when the centre plate was sticking on splines .On some cars it's possible to fit centre plate wrong way round .But would bleed clutch again and see if any air still in system .
