Sounds like the clutch is not fully disengaging. Bleed the clutch because you might have an air bubble in the system. Did you replace the throwout bearing? If not that might also be the problem.

Check out my post (A Damn good question) I was having the same problem - revving the car with the clutch completely to the floor and the car would move forward).
As it turns out the clutch was not fully disengaging. So by making my master cylinder adjustable I am now able to have a longer stroke of the cylinder and therefore depress it more and in turn this allows the clutch to properly disengage. Also, If you have the McLeod adjustable, are you adjusting it the proper way? It seems as though you might have gone the wrong way with it. Essentially what you want to do is "lengthen" the actuator rod which will allow you to depress the cylinder more and again give you more pressure on the throw-out bearing (disengaging the clutch)
Trust me, the past two weeks have been very difficult for me and the car but I've definitely learned about it (my car) and as of last night I am (for now) fully satisfied that my clutch problems are gone.
Good luck!
