Some thoughts:
Any chance that the clutch disc was put in backwards?
Did you slide the disc up and down the input shaft prior to reassembly to
check for burrs or rough spots that could cause it to hang up?
How is the pivot pin for the throwout bearing housing? If that breaks or
falls out, you will get these symptoms.
Did you carefully compare the old parts with the new ones? It seems to be
getting more common that parts that superficially appear to be correct, but
are subtly (and critically) wrong are being supplied.
Good luck!
