As long as the clutch is releasing and there are no leaks, replacing the slave will not help. A possible solution is to add or change the return spring. I'm not familiar with this model, but it is likely a good mechanic could devise a small modification for this purpose. Another possibility is to place a small block under the pedal to keep it from going down to where it will not come back.
Sorry I am not farmilar with your car in particular but it sounds like your neutral start switch has gone bad. call your local dealer ask for parts department explain your neutral start switch is bad ask how much for part and availability,and where is it located my guess is he will tell you. if this was helpful please leave good feedback

TITLE: A/T Inhibitor Switch
APPLIES TO: 95-00 Sephia
SERVICE TIP: CONDITION Some 1995 thru 2000 Sephia Automatic Transmission equipped vehicles may exhibit the following inhibitor switch concerns:
-
The vehicle may not start intermittently in park or neutral.
-
The vehicle TCU may intermittently lose the gear position signal from the inhibitor switch and go into failsafe mode (third gear). If the inhibitor switch signal returns while driving, the TCU will return to normal transmission control. The vehicle will then upshift or downshift abruptly depending on vehicle speed.
-
The TCU will set a pending OBDII code and then after two key cycles, the MIL light will come on and the O/D light will flash.
CAUSE
Corrosion/dirt on the inhibitor switch connector terminals or internal contacts. CORRECTIVE ACTION Replace the inhibitor switch with P/N KFW35-21-444 and carefully adjust per procedures in the applicable service manual. Note: The 1998-2000 Sephia Service Manual has an error on page 42-104 inhibitor switch inspection/adjustment. The connector terminal chart should show terminals 5 and 7 having continuity in neutral. The correct inhibitor switch terminal locations are shown below.
