Yep, I bet it is the cable.
www.buyfordracing.com sells a new OEM cable (non-adjustable) and a clutch fork with it for $40 bucks. Solved my hard pedal problem and sounds like the problem your describing.
The heating up problem can be the heat from the headers against the cable or from the tranny. That would explain that problem.
Good Luck

The clutch in my coupe was brutally stiff. Can't hold the clutch pedal down at a light stiff. Wouldn't go into gear with clutch depressed, especially 1st and reverse. I replaced the cable and original plastic quadrat with a UPR triple hook and the supplied adjustable cable. Clutch pedal still stiff and couldn't maintain an adjustment on the firewall adjuster. Cable finally broke (like 3 months)... I replaced the cable with a Ford Racing Adjustable cable, the clutch fork and pivot ball.... Yanked the trans and replaced the bearing retainer with a steel one and while I was in there, I put a King Cobra clutch kit I'd had in another car for a brief time (with the accompanying flywheel). Smooth and predictable... more hook..... nicer to drive all around. Hope this helps.... Bob

Steeda is good, and maby some people have issues with an adjustable clutch but I don't see why because they are usually the same as a non-adjustable but have a threaded end where you can adjust. Get a QUALITY unit and avoid the problem.
The quadrant isn't bad at all, it's the adjuster unit of the qudrant that has no room to come off so you usually have to pry it out which is a pain, but don't worry about those parts because they are no longer used with the new kit.
