I would say that one or more of the shifter selectors have been put back in the wrong position on the gearbox. I remember years ago on an old Holden mixing them up. The gears were stuck in neutral and reverse at the same time. You may have to play with the shifters to get them in the correct spot.
The front break usually over rides the starter sensors. Squeeze it and try starting . You can try rocking the machine forward and backward while trying to get it into neutral.
How Much oil did you put back in the engine?..did you remove the oil filter..??..did you install it back in correctly(they go in ONE way!!). .the engine oil capacity is 2.1 quarts..NO MORE!!
There is a kick start gear that goes on them often if not kicked properly all the time. ., pull case check for damage ( metal chips flakes broken gears teeth ext ext ) see if that's it ., dose it shift through the gears dose it run if pop started , careful starting it as if it's running and there is damaged kick start gears that could cause a lot more damage...?.
If you're in to low a gear, the clutch might be slipping under stress from high revs. You might need a new clutch or stronger springs. Try using a higher gear and use 50% braking.
Good news > save your money on the clutch. Bad news > Invest it in new shift forks. What you describe is a standard symptom of bent shift forks. Sorry to be the one to tell you this.
