With the shifter not moving, sounds like you dislodged the gearshift spindle (runs from the shifter to just behind and to the rear of the clutch basket). It has an L shape flat bar with holes. When the clutch basket is out, it is extremely easy to push the spindle towards the left side of the bike. I do not think it takes more than 5mm before it slips off the pin, and if the bike was laying on its side when you changed the clutch, it will sometimes drop toward the floor without even bumping it. I am not talking fall out of the bike stuff, just enough to dislodge it. What happens is the thing moves and when the bike is stood back up or things get jostled around during assembly, it falls back into place only the pin is not in the L bracket so the shifter will not move.
I have never fired up a bike where the spindle was dislodged so I do not know if it locks up the transmission (I do not think it would) but I the shift lever does act exactly like the way you described.
Which Rekluse did you install? If it is the Z Start Pro, did you torque the small allen heads that hold the plate or did you guess? Did you check to make sure the plates have wiggle room before you put the side cover back on?
