I didn't read the whole thread so sorry if anyone already mentioned this but did you properly grease the throw out bearing when you changed the clutch? I had this problem before and when you push on the clutch it moves the TOB and if its not greased in the groove inside the TOB it slips off the ledge on the input shaft sometimes and can't move back because it gets hung up, essentially making the clutch partially engaged . Its easy to fix, besides the fact that you have to pull the tranny. If you look at the FSM it shows where to grease the TOB. Sorry if I'm not explaining this very good I can draw a picture.

Long story short, check the clutch fork and make sure it moves freely and that when the clutch is released that it moves back, you should be able to push on the cluthc fork and have it move back enough to start pushing the pin on the slave cylinder back in. If its not free you can try and wiggle it but your going to have to pull the tranny to really fix the problem. PM me if you have questions, I've seen this happen on more than a few SR's.
