Popping Out of First

Uh Ohh... so after I got the car started and the timing set at 4K RPM I wanted to take it for it's ring seating ride. Could not get out of the neighborhood. First gear keeps popping out. Please someone tell me this is a clutch adjusting issue... PLEASE!!!
Reverse, 2nd and 3rd all stay firmly engaged.
1st pops out pretty violently and you cannot "hold it" in gear. I adjusted the shift lever thinking that I was not getting enough throw to engage first but that did not appear to make a difference. Clutch pedal is softer then before (could be new pressure plate) and the pickup is a little weird so I figure that might need adjusting, but coudl this cause first gear to disengage???
Here are some pics before I buttoned up the tranny. I think I got everything right but then again...
