My clutch pedal on my 1998 STI4 clicks then slips forward a little bit just as i push it in. Is the cable going to snap? or is there something that needs adjusting?

Sounds like you could have a problem with the clutch master cylinder or slave cyl.
There is no cable its hydraulic!!
Maybe a bleed might help but check that the mounts for the cylinders are bolted up

sounds like the push rod that the pedalis connected to under the dash could want adjusting.

Have a look under the dash at the top of the clutch pedal. You will see a bolt that is used to adjust the free play in the pedal.
Try removing the slack and see if it helps. It stopped mine doing it ...
