Default Gear problems

I am having problems with the gears engaging, particularlly 1st. What happens is if I adjust the clutch cable I will go into gear, but after a couple of days driving I am having problems with it going into first gear. So what I do is adjust the clutch cable so it goes into gear smoother. I have a brand new T-5 tranny and a centerforce clutch, I dont what else could be the problem. Please any suggestions.

stock clutch cable set up is non adjustable except for the quadrant portion which is adjusted by pulling up on the clutch pedal

Where abouts is your pedal when the clutch starts to engage?
