IIRC, I replaced the original cable with my swap 5 years ago. Since then I'm now on my 3rd cable....and I only drive my car 1/2 the year not driving it through the new England winter. The first clutch was from gregV, I don't even recall what it was. Currently I'm running a clutchmasters FX400 clutch + PP. I don't have anything torn apart but would be in my best interest with a rear main leak.....pretty sure that's what led to the complete failure of my first clutch.
