93 5.0 clutch cable

[Amanda5.0]

I replaced my clutch cable after it frayed to S***, everything went back together nicely but now the pedal wont fully diengage... I only replaced the cable so its a stock quadrant, could the breaking and fraying of the cable have F***** something else... After installing the cable I depressed and lifted the pedal plenty of time for it to readjust itself but it still didnt. and it grinds when shifting gears... and seems harder to push in than before but not sure if thats because my other cable was so shot... Thanks
