Clutch disc is worn out.
New clutch disc is either a used one, a new one with less asbestos, zinc and copper in it and more likely to freeze in place due to the higher steel content of the new style disc. Then there is the Kevlar option which does not freeze in place but does not like to be slipped at all and is less tolerant of an oil leak in the bell housing area.
The new style clutch disc means that in order to keep it vfrom freezing in place, you now have to block the clutch pedal in the released position either with a stick, rod, 2x4 or even a "C" clamp.
