Is the pressure plate old or new? Sounds like you might have a collapsed pressure plate? Or a weak pressure plate? Had one that wouldn't completely release the clutch plate when pedal was depressed. Replaced clutch and pressure plate, and everything worked great. While yer at it, replace the throw-out bearing if ya put a new clutch in. Just my $.02.
