So I am getting tired of waiting for my clutch tubeto arrive I paid for over a month ago... And I started wondering if anyone had used Morse Cables rather than the stock tube? Any reason this wouldnt work??

Never heard of it. If I were in a hurry, I'd go get some steel brake line from the parts store and use that.

The clutch tube route is pretty easy, just make extra sure you leave enough room around the shifter or you'll find yourself unable to select all the gears. Clamping it to the tunnel wall with some welders vice grips works well (the type with the round pivoting ends are great).

I've seen them used on cable shifters ala Patrick's. I think proper implementation should yield success
