If someone could give light on how to install the adjuster on the cable and junk, it would be great, also pics would be a huge help, like installed, or even better while doing it.

first keep the stock cable.. the aftermarket one will stretch.. they all do. just use the firwall adjuster. to use the stock cable cut off the rubber groument and then mount the adjuster on the firewall. then feed it through..

1. Lift up on the clutch pedal, all the way, to release the
self adjusting quadrant mechanism.

2. Push the top of the quadrant towards the firewall then
disconnect the cable from the quadrant.

3. From under the hood, remove the screw that holds the
clutch cable to the firewall.

4. Pull the clutch cable out of the firewall.

5. For 94+ cables, skip to step 8. For 79-93 cables,
remove the rubber bushing from the end of the cable
housing.

6. Using diagonal cutters, a file or utility knife, remove the
four tabs from the end of the housing if present.

7. Insert the clutch cable into Firewall Adjuster. While
holding the clutch cable housing in one hand, turn the
knurled part of the Firewall Adjuster with the other
hand. It should spin smoothly and some resistance is
OK. If the adjuster does not fully engage or is difficult
to turn, further trimming will be needed. Skip to step
17.

8. For 94+ cables, use a small screw driver, pry back the
tabs on the metal lock washer. Remove the lock
washer from the end of the cable housing.

9. Remove the metal/foam gasket from the end of the
cable housing.

10. Unclip and remove the plastic firewall mount from end
of the cable housing. It will be captured on the cable
and unable to pass over the end of the cable.

11. Use a pair of diagonal cutters to cut through one side
of the plastic firewall mount. Remove it from the clutch
cable. Be careful to avoid accidentally cutting the
cable.

12. With a flat blade screw driver, pry the rubber bushing
from the end of the cable housing.

13. Lightly sand the casting flash in the recessed part of
the cable housing until smooth.

14. Push the supplied rubber bushing over the nose of the
clutch cable housing making sure it is fully seated in
the recess.
Note: Before installing in the car, you will need to check
the operation of the Firewall Adjuster on the clutch
cable.

15. Slip the Firewall Adjuster over the rubber bushing.
Push the firewall adjuster until it is fully seated against
the face of the clutch cable housing.

16. While holding the clutch cable housing in one hand,
turn the knurled part of the Firewall Adjuster with the
other hand. It should spin smoothly with some resistance.
If it is difficult to turn you will need to remove the
firewall adjuster, pry the rubber bushing from the nose
of the clutch cable housing and repeat steps 13
through 16 sanding slightly more in step 13.
Note: A small amount of resistance is desired so the
clutch adjustment does not move accidently.

17. Remove the Firewall Adjuster from the clutch cable.

18. Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the
threads of the Firewall Adjuster. You can use brush-on
or spray-on. Wipe away any excess.

19. Install the Firewall Adjuster and secure it to the
firewall using the new longer screw provided. It may be
necessary to use a file to clean up the hole in the
firewall.

20. Screw the Firewall Adjuster in all the way.

21. Insert the clutch cable into the Firewall Adjuster.

22. Reattach the cable to the quadrant.

23. Adjust the Firewall Adjuster so the cable is
slightly loose. Check by pulling on the clutch cable
housing near the firewall adjuster. There should be a
small gap. Over tightening the cable will cause the
throwout bearing to be continuously engaged and
prematurely wear out.
