you might just need an adjustable cable and aftermarket quadrant. that's what i needed.

and to dhmustang. have you checked the pedal assembly for any loose or worn parts? if the clutch isn't slipping or heating up excessively, and no noises coming from the clutch housing, and it engages and disengages fine, then the problem must be in the cable or pedal assembly. or maybe the fork is worn. go under the car and check it out and look under the dash at the pedal assy.

Im not worried about my cricketts chirping intil the start to eat metal (the scrapping squeeking sound likc fingers on a chalkboard) then the cricketts must die, or get a new cluth

I had this problem right after I bought my 2002 (brand new). It literally had 30 miles on it. After a long and rather high speed trip to the bay area with my dad we both noticed the clutch vibrating at about 1500 rpm (mostly during deceleration). When I took it into the dealer (under warranty) they told me I had a warped clutch plate and they fixed it and haven't had any problems until a few months ago and now it's rattling again. But that is about 80,000 miles after being replaced in the first place. I'm thinking maybe it's a throwout bearing issue...
