Default broke the stang

Ok guys I have a very important question. I was going down the road today and i was about to shift into 5th gear going about 45 MPH and when i pressed in the clutch peddal a heard a loud pop and my clutch pedal now swings freely, and doesn't even attempt to disingadge the clutch. I am almost 100 % sure that I broke the cable because i saw where the cabel should go and then I saw the medal cable all torn apart (haha good hint ehh) how hard is it to replace the clutch pdeal cabel that goes to the clutch? and be honest

its actually pretty simple, take the cover off the side of the tranny and disconnect the clutch and look under the dash to get the other part, the hardest part is getting it back on under the dash

it only took me maybe 2 hours to do. Its easy to do but i would get a adjustable clutch cable with a new quadrant and a firewall adjuster too

man that sucks, my clutch cable is on its last leg, it takes a hell of a lot of pressure just for me to push the pedal down and every day ut us getting harder and harder to put into gear everyday, so i just ordered the whole kit with firewall adjuster and everything through summit for $129.
