Tight clutch on '68 911

[Fritter]

I put a new TO bearing and tube in my 901 trans, didn't change anything else.

Clutch is now "tight", meaning, engages at very top of pedal travel and I really had to fight to get the adjustment nuts on at the clutch fork. I also let the adjustment at the pedal out a bit, about halfway threaded into the pedal yoke.

Car drives but clutch slips when I get on it a bit. Pedal is "tight" and there is no perceptable play.

I was thinking either my clutch cable is too short or the bowden tube is somehow messed up, effectively shortening the cable.

Everything worked OK with the old TO bearing and tube, well, except for the annoying grinding noises every time I pushed the pedal in.

Anyone know WTF is going on here?

Thanks!
