No the cable isn't too short in the fire wall.
You should hook up the pedal end first.
Once you have, the other end will reach the
throwout arm but the plastic adjuster screw
won't stretch up to go on the bracket.
I had to cut and reweld my transmission clutch
bracket.
It cost me $15 at midas
If you would like a photo of the bracket, I'll send you one.

I took my 90 dx clutch cable to the parts store and
compared it to a 91 Teg cable and they were the
same length and same adjuster.
The problem was the JDM tranny bracket was to high.
I think the problem is that the JDM clutch cables are
shorter and different overall because of right hand drive.
I was able to have it cut and welded an inch lower and it works well
and has adjustment.
