Did you end up with some leftover bushings? My car was doing that right after my clutch replacement. It turned out I did not replace the bushings on either side of the return springs. Once I replaced them, it worked just fine! It's easy to forget them, Once you remove the cables from the manual transmission, the bushings just fall off when you're not paying attention.
