The funny thing is it feels exactly the same as the one that came out. The old one wasn hardly worn at all, it just had a little oil on it. The biting point, feel, weight are all exactly the same

Because the old clutch had a high biting point I expected to find the plate to be worn out but it wasn't and I also expected the new clutch to have a lower biting point.
If the cable was stretched wouldn't that mean it could drag or have I got it the wrong way around?
