I have adjusted the cable to the best of my abilities and I still can't get this thing to hold. It slips at less than half throttle. I don't think it can be a worn out clutch its only got 1000 miles on it or so. And the engine only has like 150 horse. What else can I look at/adjust to get this working.

Well if the cable is slack you should have all the clamping force you will ever get.
So what to look for.... is the throw out arm now free to wiggle forward and back. Not side to side. (could be binding up and holding the pressure plate slightly depressed.
OK so now you got that figured out set the tension of the clutch cable. Start with the pedal all the way up and tighten the cable adjusting nut a little. This should start to take out the free play in the pedal. YOU WANT MORE FREE PLAY THAN YOU THINK. What you don't want to do is over center the pressure plate spring. You will know this when you depress the pedal and it all of a sudden gets light (easy). This means your cable is too tight, back it off til the over center feel is just gone at full pedal depress.

If your clutch slips now it is FUCKED just bite the bullet and replace it. 10 : 1 that the flywheel is not within specs. Friction surface was machined and not the outer lip where the pressure plate mounts.
