Why would u bother running an aftermarket quadrant without an adjustable clutch cable? The quadrant is the only part that's a pain in the ***, putting in a new cable is the easy part.

Is your quadrant bad or something? I just don't get the point of just replacing the quadrant. You should be able to use the stock cable with the aftermarket quadrant though.
