Easy way to check for clutch drag, put it in first gear, brakes off, clutch pressed to the floor,clear road in front!!! , now try to start the engine, if the car tries to move then you've clutch drag, if the clutch is dragging a little then the engine should start but the car should stay still (ish), check to see how much pedal movement you've got before full bite with the engine running. The clutch shoouldn't bite until you've got a noticeable movement in the pedal in my opinion at least a quarter of the pedal movement. It should be fully bit long before the clutch pedal is at the top.
