Clutch Quadrant help

Ok, I have the old quadrant off, the springs off, the new quadrant on.

My question is, the old springs used to return the clutch pedal up to the normal position. With the new quadrant, is the clutch cable now what keeps tension on the pedal???

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this mean the pilot bearing (or throw out, always get them confused) will be always engaged and thusly wear faster??

I have an adjustable cable, but is the firewall adjuster a requirement for a new quadrant??

ahhh ok, because I was concerned when I put on the new quadrant but hadn't attached the cable, the pedal obviously was just limp. I was thinking that it couldnt be right. APpreciate the information.
