No, flywheel was not turned, clutch was not slipping before.
It will go into gear and drive fine as long as not to much on gas. If you put your foot into it, then it will slip.

Pressure plate issue. Is there any pedal freeplay?
Think your going to need to tear it down again.

The throwout bearing may have been installed in correctly keeping pressure on pressure plate. Remove cable from fork is there free play in fork?
