      I would start by lubing the clutch cable, see if that helps any.

        How do i do that? Do i just pull out the cable from the sleeve and lube it? What do i need to buy for this?

          When I press the clutch pedal in, it pulls the sleeve along with the cable, could that be an indication of just a bad cable? A $35 fix doesn't bother me, I'd just rather start smaller and hope this does fix it. I don't feel like forking out a grand+ to replace the clutch and throwout bearing.

            Just replace the cable with a new one,you can lube it till the cow's come home and it wont help.You dont need a Hydro conversion or Throw Out bearing.

                How hard is it to remove the whole assembly? And how would you guys suggest reinforcing it?

                  Throwout bearing was my problem way back when. Can't rule that out yet, although it sounds like it is cable related. He does need to fix the assembly.

                          Red its super easy,just a little basic mechanic work. Pull the steering column plastic clam shell.Remove the 4 steering column attach nuts. Remove the 6 Pedal bracket attach nuts and pull it out. You should pull the clip that holds the cable to the top of the pedal and the brake pedal clevis pin first. All of this is done while lying on your side or semi upside down.So if you are real putz like me you'll want to remove the seat. But with that said the seat can actually be used as rest for the column once its in your hands.
                          Personally I wouldn't do any work till I had a new cable in my hands ready for install. But that's me,time is money and I hate doing the same work twice.You might also want to get a "New" used cage from a JY before you remove your old one as well. Unless you are a welder or have easy access to a welder.

                          FYI with the ASPIRE column just watch out for pinching the Air Bag wires when re-installing the column. I've done this but I've converted mine to a 5 speed so I have removed my harness from its original route.
