First off, try to use a little better punctuation and a little less capitalization.

Where is the cable "not fitting?" You'll need to push it through the firewall, crawl under the dash and hook it onto the quadrant. From there you can secure it to the framerail and route it just like your stock one. Push the end through the bellhousing tab, and then you'll need some sort of pry/lever bar to push the clutch fork forward enough to push the cable through.
