[QUOTE="cobrajeff96, post: 1560088, member: 29141"] Just some general pointers that served me well back when I used cables... The fork needs to be right in the middle of the inspection window, with 5lbs preload give or take (a good reason to have a firewall adjuster). There should be high temp red grease on the following contact points: -Bearing to fork tongs (moderate) -Bearing face to pressure plate fingers (very light) -Pivot ball to fork (heavy) -Input shaft tube (light to moderate) -Input shaft splines (light) -Cable end to fork (moderate) Do make sure the inside of the bell and just everything in general is reasonably clean before greasing. I've never had a queaky or rattling TOB until many tens of thousands of miles or basically right before it was about to pop. [/QUOTE]
