it started squeaking the other day after i put the new clutch cable on, the TOB has only 2k miles on it, but when i push the clutch it goes a way, i took off the inspection sheild and saw the the tob is always spinning even with the clutch out am i missing a spring or something?

Is it an adjustable cable? If so you have it too tight. Did you lube the TOB when you installed it? It it's a stock cable and quadrant lift up on the clutch pedal to adjust.

if its a aftermarket clutch and or TB you may need a quadrant and firewall adjuster. I had to install one after i upgraded my clutch to a centerforce DF.

upr maximum motorsports and steeda all make good adjusters. most people need a quadrant a firewall adjuster after they install a aftermarket clutch because of the hight of the pressure plate fingers. if you put a stock pressure plate flat on a table next to a aftermarket one the stock fingers will be higher then the aftermarket.

i was just messing around with my cable and the quadrant, for some reason every time i try to adjust the stock quadrant it goes all the way back like the clutch cable is stretched, but it a brand new cable and this makes the cable to tight so my tob is always spinning on the pressure plate, would a after market quadrant and fire wall adjuster fix this? i rely do want to kill the tob with it spinning all the time and have to pull the tranny again i did it only 2k miles ago

Yes a quadrant and firewall adjuster will correct this problem
