I see.
Unfortunately ime most "local garage"s (including 'yota dealerships) don't have the experience necessary to work on a 400whp+ gt sportscar. Fwiw, in the future, I'd strongly advise you to to take your Supra to a shop experienced with Supras if at all possible. Improper installation could easily explain why your gears are stiff.
Which Ashford do you live in? CT? WV? AL? If you're interested, I may be able to recommend an experienced supra mechanic or owener(s) that you can get in touch with.

Honestly no. At this point, I'd recommend you have it checked out by a shop that is familiar with this car. For example (hypothetically speaking), if your Supra shifted properly before you took it to this "local garage", why would you suddenly have to change the clutch fork or slave cylinder? Did your "local garage" break these parts?
If you have the TSRM, you could try adjusting the clutch pedal yourself. It's pretty easy mechanically speaking. It can be done with one 12mm wrench...but you need the TSRM to make sure you do it right, since adjusted wrongly it can cause your throwout bearing to wear out very quickly. When properly installed & adjusted, there should be absolutely zero "play in total between the fork, Slave and Master cylinder". When properly installed & adjusted, the engagement/disengagement point should not be "very high".
P.S. Your earlier post said that the lightnened flywheel is "
concaved in on one side". Again, this could possibly be a problem, depending on which "side" they're talking about. Imo, if the shop suspected there was a problem, they shouldn't have installed the flywheel.
