Sticking down is never a good thing.

The first thing I would do would be put a dial indicator on the crank pulley and check for movement from clutch engaged to disengaged. If there is no air in the line, the next place to look are bad thrust washers unfortunately.

I would suspect the clutch master cylinder either has trash in it or is faulty. Also make sure and grease the new slave cylinder rod.
