Default diagnosing clutch issues

OK, I seem to have some issues getting into 1st gear on a 1996 manual
4WD sport. Also you have to delay some to move to other gears. Pedal
seems 'springy', or close to normal - hard to say.

When I switch the engine off, it slides into 1st effortlessly.

The clutch fluid level is correct.

I had a new clutch put in, including the slave cylinder 24K miles ago.
Clutches in my vehicle normally last 70K-100K.

Could this be a failed master cylinder? The clutch level in the
resorviour being correct makes me think that perhaps there is no fluid
loss, or air is in the system. Would a slave cylinder failure make the
level go down?

Puzzled...

Paul
