tried adjusting the clutch cable. just brought the pedal up higher. could it be that the adjustment has moved on the gearbox or low on oil?

the adjuster can't move on the gearbox, and could b low on oil

more likely, especially if the bite is at the top, your clutch is worn out and or pressure plate nackard
