i have a steeda clutch quadrant, and i was wondering what anybody who has installed one of these and what they did with the spring for the peddle. There is no where else to install the spring on the new quaderant. Also how does the second whole closest to the firewall get put on to the shaft with the plastic peice on it? If someone could help me i would appreciate it.

Welcome! First, a spring...not sure what spring you are referring to - both plastic pieces are to be removed when installing the new quad. Did you get instructions with the new quad? It's been a while since we did the 01, but it was pretty straightforward.
Here is a cut-n-paste from Steeda's website -
Quadrant
1) At the bellhousing, remove the plastic splash shield. Use a prybar to slacken the clutch cable and disconnect it from the clutch fork.
2) Under the dash, pull the end of the cable loose from the quadrant
3) Under the dash there are two plastic parts which make up the factory clutch quadrant mechanism. They are held in place by clips on the end of the shafts. Remove the clips from the end of the shafts.
4) Press the clutch pedal fully to the floor (you may have to pull the carpet aside) and pry the plastic quadrant and springs off.
5) Press the clutch pedal to the floor again. Align the new aluminum quadrant with the shafts and slide the aluminum quadrant on. Center the quadrant in line with the hole where the cable comes through the firewall. Reinstall the clips onto the shafts.
6) Install the Adjustable Cable or Cable Adjuster. (See instructions below.) Hook the cable onto the clutch quadrant. If you are using a firewall mounted Cable Adjuster, attach the cable to the hook closest to the firewall. If you are using an Adjustable Cable without a firewall Adjuster, attach the cable to the hook farthest away from the firewall.
Note: The clutch should be adjusted so there is no slack in the cable, and the cable is keeping constant light tension on the quadrant. The tension on the cable keeps the quadrant from moving on the shaft. Make sure the quadrant is lined up with the hole in the firewall when the cable is installed. If the cable is TOO LOOSE the quadrant may shift sideways on the shaft, causing the cable to bind. It may also result in a vibrating clutch pedal or rattle under the dash. If the cable is TOO TIGHT damage to the clutch or cable may result.

Ditch the springs... All you need is to adjust the firewall adjuster and the end of the cable at the trans. Adjust the two unitl the cable is snug. This will keep the pedal up and tight. Word of warning DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN the adjusters as this will push on the pressure plate and smoke your clutch.
