Search for clutch damper bypass. I did a write up on it many moons ago.

There is still air in the system, the only way to fix it is to keep bleeding untill all the air is out and the pedal returns on its own.

I had a similar problem when I swapped my clutch. I bled both the damper and the slave and the resistance on the clutch came back. I read Maxima's write up online and dumped the damper and felt an even more immediate feeling with the clutch. Sometimes those dampers take a crap and don't work, especially with aftermarket clutches.
