The end of my clutch cable popped out the other day, I couldn’t get the og cable to work afterwards so I got a brand new one. After putting the new cable in there is still too much slack. With the adjuster nut fully tightened there’s still an inch of play in the wire. whenever I press the clutch in there’s a few inches of dead play then a bunch of tension- second I press on the tension the ball pops out of the transmission arm. (D16z6/stage three clutch/og transmission)

Any ideas what’s going on?
