On my car the point where the clutch engages is almost all the way at the floor, I have to be putting my foot throught the floorboard for it to go into gear then the car goes right when i lift my foot from the floor. Is the stock cable just stretched? Do i need a new cable since the stock one isnt adjustable?

Yes it is stretched. You will ned a new one. And something that seemed to help me a bit when mine was like that was to lift the pedal up and make sure there's no more clicks left in your self adjuster. Might as well get hte aftermarket stuff (quadrtant, Firewall adjuster, and adjustable cable)since you'll be doing the job anyway.
