The pedal is not that bad to remove. Lift the pedal to release the tension when you disconnect the cable. If you do need a new one (they are long obsolete), SHO Source still has a couple for sale here:

Broken clutch cable
My clutch cable broke on me while driving recently ... had to start the car with it in gear many times... turning it off at stop lights. Got a new cable but having problems installing it into the clutch pedal assembly.
The Chiltons manual states that a cable guard is to be loosened... but I can't see or feel any nuts or bolts to turn... Any thoughts..hints.. tips. Thanks.

there is a cover that you need to remove to get to stuff. it has 2 or 3 screws/bolts in it, and they are on the top so they are hard to get to. budget some $$ for a chiropractor visit after you are done laying on your back twisted under the dash...

success
It took me longer to write this (crappy computer) than to do this procedure.
Fully charged battery.
Engage parking brake.
Remove driver's seat..place on to back seat.
Disconnect battery.
Shine lights on clutch pedal adjuster ass.
Lay on back.
Fuse panel can be tilted to ease with this ordeal.
Remove shield... a pair of 8 mm. screws mounted on the side of the shield.
NOTE when on YOUR BACK the screws are to be removed from the left side of the shield. Look for a pair of protruding screws on the right side of the shield to get an idea to where to place the socket
By pulling up on the clutch pedal it releases the "hold" on the adjuster, allowing it to spring towards your head or to be push up to it's furthest most upwardly position.
Pull up on pedal...push on adjuster with a screwdriver.. let the pedal recede about an inch ..(idea is to not let the "hold" to release)
Place end of cable into adjuster
Place other end of cable onto transmission "arm"
Pull up on pedal & step on it a few times... repeat ... again
Viola there it is.
If your **** you can replace the shield.
Slap the rest of the s**t back on.
BTW got mine at brand "P" autoparts store for $20... LUK brand made in Italy.
