77Gs 750 clutch cable replacement help

[77gs750]

Hello all, I am new to this site, I replaced my clutch cable because the old cable was starting to snap, but ever since i replaced the cable i cannot get the clutch to disengage, i followed the manual and still know luck,in the manual it says to turn the screw with the adjuster nut on it till you feel resistance, then tighten the adjuster nut, i have done this and still when i pull in the clutch the bike will not move in gear, so then i tighten the screw and adjuster nut all the way in and the bike would move in gear without the clutch cable, so then i started loosening the screw quarter turns at a time until the bike wouldn't move in gear and still could not get the clutch to disengage with the cable held in, So if any one has done this before do you have any tips on what i could try, or if im doing something wrong? thanks for taking the time to read this long question and any help is appreciated
