clutch problems

Didn't get much response on the Problem Diagnosis page so I am putting it here:
I have a '95 S10 pickup, 4x4, 4.3 Z code, 5-speed. Two weeks ago my clutch would not fully disengage, only partly. Also, when starting out on a hill the peddle would be all the way out before it fully engaged. After checking my master and slave cylinders (and fluid level) I determined it was more likely then not the pressure plate starting to go. Not having the time to replace a clutch it was taken to a shop. The new clutch was installed but now the following is going on. 1) The peddle is extremely soft until half way down, 2) the peddle must be pushed into the carpet for full disengagement, 3) the clutch engages just off the floor, 4) it seems to vibrate and make some rattling noises when engaging. In addition, they didn't install the exhaust correctly so it leaks and two hangers are up-side-down (I replaced it myself two months ago and know how it is supposed to be). After two times back to the shop, bleeding the hydraulic lines to death, and replacing the master cylinder myself it is exactly the same way. I am going through American Express to get my money back and taking the truck to a different shop, hopefully better. What could the first shop have done to make a clutch act like this? Thanks for the help, I am in a bad way right now so thank God for beer.

Double posting on more than one forum is not going to get the answer.
Like I told you on your post in problem diagnosis.
We can not tell you what they may have or not done without taking it apart and looking at it.
But no use crying over spilled milk.
If you got your money back move on and find good shop.
And Better to stay with one post on your problem.
