Clutch started slipping a couple of weeks ago, ordered new plates and springs, gasket, cable.
Put new plates in oil, removed all the old parts, cleaned up what needed cleaning, reassembled, filled with new oil (popped a new filter on)
I made sure that I removed everything in order, all laid out, new install just reversed.
Adjusted the new (oiled) cable... nothing.
Cable pull is very stiff, feels like the top hat push-rod is not moving anything, I removed and checked, could not see anything wrong.
Opening it up again tomorrow.
Thoughts ?

I think you've put it together incorrectly.
