306 clutch cable too long!

1998 306 d'turbo bought new clutch cable. Really a bitch to fit as the turbo and AC get in the way plus the hole in the bulk head is behind the servo. Fitted it to the gearbox end and the pedal is still on the floor. Pull pedal up and cable seems about 4 inches too long and gearbox. Rang dealer who siad it was the right cable for the build code etc Any ideas?
