Hi there,
when you fitted the clutch cable did you inspect the teeth on the pedal ratchet mechanism? you should be able to reset the clutch pedal by pulling the pedal fully up by hand against the adjuster back stop you should be able to hear the ratchet adjust. If this is not happening then the ratchet could could be worn or incorrectly assembled!

Hope this helps. Mike.
