Tell me if I need A new clutch

[Chevyguy]

I also vote for a Quadrant geometry or hanging clutch fork or throwout bearing. When you replaced the cable or installed the quadrant maybe you got the fork popped off the pivot ball, or maybe the pivot ball or fork itself is worn or damaged. This does not sound related to a problem with the clutch disc or pressure plate.

The cable on my car was loose when I bought it with a smoked trans. The throwout bearing was digging into the pressure plate fingers beacuse the cable was not keeping it in place. I had bought everything else I needed, but would have liked to replace the clutch fork too, but it still works fine. Does the cable adjust tight enough to keep the fork from moving side to side?
