[QUOTE="SnakeBit, post: 10158889, member: 2522"] If you are hearing (and maybe feeling through the pedal) a {click}, then it could mean thet the quadrant is off center. The quadrant should be shimmed on both sides so the cable comes straight through the firewall and into the channel of the quadrant. Go to the hardware store and buy a few 1/2" washers. If they have different thickness washers, then buy 3 or 4 of each type. I also like to use at least 1 rubber washer from the plumbing section. In addition to shims, check your quadrant. Most of the quadrants I've seen are pretty sharp on the inner edges of the channel. I like to hit them with a buffing wheel to soften those edges. If the cable isn't on center, it can chafe on the sharp edges and eventually break. The {click} is from the cable not being centered. As you push in the pedal, the cable may ride up on the top edge. Asthe pedal is depressed more, the tention will cause it to fall down into the channel causing the click. Eventually, this WILL break the cable. [/QUOTE]
