   right after 5 attemps for a motor factors to find me a clutch cable that actually matched mine i got 1, ive fitted it now and now i have no throw in the clutch pedal, its practicly adjusted all the way and the clutch pedal is way below being inline with the brake pedal, the cable itself was an exzact match in length and and all that with the original 1, can someone please help as to why the clutch pedal is so low and why the cable is practicly fully adjusted.
