Your description is typical of an overheated flywheel, usually caused by riding the clutch. A glaze develops on the flywheel surface, and when the pedal is released, and the clutch applied, the clutch and flywheel surfaces act more like rubber than like the materials they are. This is one of the reasons why it's so important to have the flywheel surfaced, or at least have it's face dressed with a light sanding disc, when replacing the clutch. A temporary fix can sometimes be made by dumping the clutch hard several times. This should only be attempted in a large, vacant parking lot. Rev it to 3000 rpm's or more, and dump the clutch. Do this several times. This will help break-up the glaze, if it's not too severe. If it doesn't help, replacing the clutch, and having the flywheel machined, may be your only solution.
Take care, -Chris
