Installed new cable and don't know how to adjust it
There are probably Manufacturers specs for this. But you want a little free play at the top to insure the pressure plate bearing is not loaded.
An inch of play before resistance is felt should be good enough. When the clutch wears in later, you may need to adjust the cable to get the pedal higher off the floorboard.
SOURCE: loose clutch,leak on clutch cable next to gearbox,
if it is a hydralic clutch there is no adjustment. and if it is leaking on the transmission you need a new slave cylinder.
hope i provided some information for you
please leave me feed back
thank you

Check to see that when you pull the lever back, that the parking brakes aren't grabbing. Approximately straight up, and down with the lever, is the neutral position, then pulling it back slightly towards the seat will set the parking brake.
Also, push the low pedal in very slowly, until you feel when you hit the low speed cam. You'll feel it. There will suddenly be more resistance at this point. That's where neutral is. The pedal should move down about 1 and 1/2 inches. The manual states halfway, this may be incorrect.
Jack up the car, (Use chock blocks under the tires, and work on a hard, level flat surface), check that the parking brakes are not setting when the lever is in the neutral position.
And yes, your deduction is correct about when the clutch oil is cold. The clutch used is a 'Wet Clutch'.

SOURCE: how do I adjust emergency brake cable on 1999 ford
FIRST adjust rear brake starwheel while spinning tire FOWARD. then alongside drivers side of car find emergency brake cable adjustment (long threaded rod with nut) . hold one end of rod with vise-grips and turn nut until emer. brake cable has less slack in it. now go inside car and apply e-brake.you dont want the pedal to stop right away but u also dont want too much"travel" in the pedal.so about halfway is IDEAL. IMPORTANT- once the brake cable is adjusted and the car wont roll foward in gear with the brake on and applying a little "gas"-make sure with brake OFF that rear wheels turn freely. hope this helps.
