To recap, new clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing and clutch cable...still slips very badly.
Under load in lower gears...it still slips..with all new hardware.

Throw-out-bearing fork arm is bent.

Or pivot bearing seized.
Not moving to allow cover plate fingers to release.
There should be a gap between Arm and TO when pedal is released. to allow free spinning
My first guesses.

Something is preventing full sandwich of the friction plate burger between the buns.


Or:
Flywheel might be seriously worn down enough, with a deep groove tract, to not allow full contact of Friction Plate. That should be obvious.
Flywheels do need resurfacing.
Only problem is that most places don't do it anymore. Same with brake rotors with a lot of meat still.

Or:
Friction Plate springs anti-vibration are weak toast.They max out.
It was a failed rebuild part.
But the whole assembly should still still engage even if engagement is harsh. So this is probably not it.
