Default bull!!!

well here iam problem after problem with tha new car! Woke up yesterday wanting to go to my local p/n/p and my car didnt turn? Took off battery switched it did my alternator test and it failed!! Picked up a new 1 with a 3yr warranty for $80., ok good that got my car goin! came back from junk yard and went to grab a bite at mall. Came out started stang and f'ing clutch pedal stayed on floor so my cable is shocked to sh#$! I picked up cable later in the day only to find out that it was a non adj cable that i could not for the life of me install at the parking lot! So i basically ordered one from summit overnighted on sat and got raped while ordering! part was $42 i think and the rest was all shipping fees! came out to $94, damn! same as if i would of towed car and waited for part! just wanted to vent!!!

ps how in the hell do you install a non adj cable?? How do you push the fork in to slide wire in??

Just need a prying action of some sort, preferably with a prybar.
