PLEASE HELP!!!! Clutch cable problem

[kpack5982]

So just replaced a buddy's clutch and we got to the point of getting the tranny in and we can't get the clutch to attach to the arm with the throwout bearing on it. There is like a 1/2 distance to it at it's closest point. Can't get a decent reply other than prying it on the other forums so I thought I'd check you guys. It's on a stock t5 with everything else stock replacement, cables, etc. Also is the throwout bearing supposed to be that close to the pressure place fingers? Snug fight?

If you have the stock quadrant, you can release the quad/pawl mesh to free up some slack.

FWIW, though it doesnt sound like it applies, some aftermarket quadrants wont accept a stock length cable.

The TOB should be slightly pressed into the diaphram fingers when adjusted properly (read there is slight preload on the cable).

Good luck.
