Thank you all for your concern on the clutch cable health and replacement. The reason I was into the cable boot replacement was it was damaged in storage prior to my ownership. During the cluster restoration I inspected the cable and the last 15" of it at the transmission, it was in very good condition and well lubed. To add, the car has only 55000 miles and clutch adjustment within spec, so in my opinion it did not need replacement. Rather spend the resources on other more pressing matters the car could benefit from.
Here is a picture of the wear on the clutch disc.
Thank you, Jeff
