Done. Wasnt that hard.

But It feels totally different. The clutch doesnt grab until almost the pedal is all the way out. Is that normal? Before it use to grab at mid pedal. Does it need more aadjustment? Does the clutch cable need to be super tight?

nah, it's not too bad, just a little time consuming. You can get a firewall adjuster, but trying tightening the cable at the clutch fork first. If you get it tight enough there, you may not need a firewall adjuster, although they make it faster to to the same thing.

EDIT: It's nice to know it was just a cable that broke instead of something more serious (and expensive).
