Bump.

Any new thoughts on this over the last three years?

What kind of new thoughts are you asking about?
On my 92 I referenced previously, I ended up replacing the clutch (it was worn out) and that took care of the odd pedal feel that I was blaming on the cable setup.

So locjaw, what have you done as the cable stretches on your '95? 

If there's no way to adjust for cable stretch, I guess you just have to replace the cable every 30,000 miles or so . . . and even that's not very satisfying, because there is probably a good bit of stretch in the first 1,000 miles on a new cable.
i have found that the cable it's self doesent stretch a lot, but the cable casing does. after a couple years of contemplating this, i dont think there is a lot of adjustment with either cable setup, it either engages the clutch or not. if not, the answer is a new cable.

Stock cables last 100K+ miles.  If you get a good quality replacement cable, then it should last the same. 
I think the cable that was on my 92 was the stock cable and it had 180K+ on it, when I sold it.  Even if it wasn't, I drove it 50K+ miles and the cable was fine (it was the clutch that needed replaced).
