Need new clutch cable?

Hi, I noticed my pedal feel was a bit easier the other day. Specifically the top 1/2 of the travel was very easy and abrupt, like a compound bow getting past the 1/2 mark. So I climbed under the car to adjust the cable. The initial gap was way wider than 1mm so I adjusted it.

Two things: 1) the clutch engagement is now very low and 2) the cutch cable is now resting on the throttle linkage and causing the throttle to stick. If I get under the car I can lift it off but as soon as the clutch is depressed it again rests on the throttle.

So, I'm guessing the clutch cable is now just too stretched and needs to be replaced?

Clutch is brand new car is an 86 carrera.

Thanks.

John
