Default clutch cable?

ive been looking through the forums, and i just wanted to see what you guys thought. my tob failed last week and i just got my car back. new clutch kit and i got the flywheel machined. when i got it, there was about 3 inches of play in the clutch and it was vibrating like crazy. i also noticed a ticking with the clutch engaged, pedal released.
i checked the pedal adjuster at the quadrant, and it was already maxed out. i managed to adjust it by hand to grab the last few teeth on the adjuster.
the play was gone, as was the ticking. now i'm just hearing a tiny squeak. if i even just rest my foot on the pedal it goes away.
i imagine i need a new clutch cable. will waiting a week or two do any damage to the clutch? i dont want to have to put another one in. also, do you have any recommendations on cables? ive heard that oem with a firewall adjuster is best

Yes an oem cable is the only way to go.

as long as you dont buy an adjustable cable and keep the stock adjustable quadrant you are good. if u buy an adjustable cable u NEED to get the solid quadrant. you can get away without using the firewall adjuster, but i would get that anyways.
