Unhappy Tranny blues (long)

This has been frustrating me for some time so bear with me. It all started a while back, the tranny was getting pretty tough to shift, even when I adjusted it. So I figured time for a new clutch. Got the King Cobra, installed it, torqued it down to specs and I was ready to go. Well that when this all started. When I had the clutch pedal to the floor and tried to put it in gear it wouldn't budge. So I adjusted the cable numerous times with still no result. So then I decided to take out the tranny again a make sure everything was torqued down properly. Still not a damn bit of difference. I noticed the clutch pedal was hanging a little low, probably from the pressure I was applying to it. So I dropped the brake support assembly and got a new pedal and the attaching bar and put that in. Boy that was fun And of course it didn't do a damn thing. So thats where I'm at now.
So as you can see I'm pretty frustrated with it all. I'm hoping I'm just a complete moron and its something so simple that I keep overlooking. When I "engage" the clutch its soooo stiff. It lifts my left side outta the seat. I have to grasp the steering wheel to get it down. And I don't want to do that anymore... cuz I'd hate to strip out another pedal. So please any ideas... anything I can do to hopefully fix this wonderful problem I've created for myself.

Thanx
