Default Clutch Won't Disengage

Hi!

Alright before anyone says to me, THE CLUTCH IS GONE...This is a completely brand new Centerforce Clutch that I just replaced. This problem, again, only shows its head in Reverse. Before anyone says, CHECK THE FLUID...That is also full. The clutch engagement point is totally normal in any other gear, until shifted into Reverse and it grabs on the floor. I have to shut off the Jeep, pump the clutch pedal, and then shift out of Reverse. If I don't, It just inches backwards. Also, yes I did bleed the system...12 DIFFERENT TIMES. Any help, again, is appreciated...
