Throw out bearing went bad. It made a really bad noise and won't shift at all. Replaced the flywheel, clutch, throw out bearing, pilot bearing, and clutch cable. It still won't shift gears. I don’t know if i need to adjust the clutch or if i need to adjust the quadrant. Any insight would be appreciated.

Does it change gears while the car is not running?

Keep adjusting the cable until there is very little slack on the cable and the tob isn't pressing against the clutch fingers.

What cable/quadrant setup are you running?

It is just the stock self adjusting one.

Buy a maximum motor sports quadrant, cable, fire wall adjuster and try again. Stay away from any of the adjustable aftermarket cables. I've tried about all of them and trust me the MM kit is by far superior and made for the best feeling clutch I've ever used.
