Usually, if the clutch disengages low and you get dragging between gears like you're describing, that means that there's either air in the hydraulic system or that the hole in the clutch pedal that the master cylinder yoke clevis pin goes into is worn into an oval.
It can also mean that the master cylinder is in need of replacement because it can't return to home position (been there, done that). If you replace the master cylinder, be prepared to replace the slave cylinder in the near future.
And ... it can also mean that the pilot bearing has siezed, so engine torque is transmitted to the transmission even though the clutch is disengaged. If that's the case, you might as well do a clutch replacement, because you have to take the whole thing apart to get to the bearing.
You can try pressure bleeding the clutch hydraulics and that may help for a while. IF that works and it's the original master cylinder or if you don't know how old it is, you may want to consider replacing it.
You can check the hole in the clutch pedal by reaching waaay back under the lower dash and feeling around for where the clutch master cylinder yoke meets the clutch pedal. If you can move the pedal without moving the yoke, then you need to either repair or replace the clutch pedal. It's not easy to do that feeling around behind the dash without having been through the process once before and knowing where everything is down there, but it's something to try.
