Default Clutch installed, something's wrong!

After removing the old clutch, we installed the new King Cobra clutch in the exact opposite order and when we put the trans back onto the engine, the clutch cable seemed to have too much slack in it. it's not tight at all, and when we took if during te removal, we had to pry the "fork" to get some slack to remove the cable. now there is no tension on the cable at all. could i have done something wrong on the install? there was an aftermarket clutch already in there and i heard that they might have put on a different cable when they installed the new clutch? any suggestions?

ok good thing no one replied yet... haha i had a very very rookie move seeing as how this was my first time to installa clutch. i tried to see if the cable would fit w/out bolting the trans to the engine completely... and there was too much slack... after bolting it all the way it pushed the fork back and gave the cable more tension... wow i feel dumb... wont happen again though!
