I think that your clutch is not fully disengaging cleanly, or the pilot bearing is dragging the input shaft. If the rear tires were off the ground and the motor was running with the tranny in first gear and the clutch pushed in, I bet your rear tires would start turning.

Sit in neutral with the clutch out, motor running. Push the clutch in and pull the shifter into first, it should be smooth, same thing with reverse. If it is not smooth, than the tranny's input shaft is still turning.

If you do have significant clutch pedal travel after the point of release, you will damage your pressure plate. When or if that happens don't put another centerforce plate in, get a McLeod.
