I installed a clutch cable with a new quadrant and firewall adjuster. My mechanic drove my car a few weeks ago and said the clutch was hard to push in, i knew it was a little stiff but i thought that it was normal. And now today the clutch cable i installed in March snapped. My mechanic is contributing this to a bad pressure plate. Does this seem true, or could it have just been the cable was adjusted too tight. Any help or input is appreciated, thanks. And there was no other symptoms of the clutch/or pressure plate going bad.

There are a few other parts within the clutch system that can cause a hard pedal. On my 2000 I had the same issue. Replaced the cable and quadrant and still had a overly hard pedal. Next step is to remove the Trans and inspect the clutch componets. For me, the clutch fork and pivot ball were gallery and binding. I replaced both along with a new clutch.
