Oh and the spring is as tight as it can go,,,, I believe. It wont go any further.

Make sure its lined up when you put it back on, it might be spring loaded. That or the cable needs major adjusting. If it was working before you took it apart, thats about the only thing that would cause your problem.

Yea I believe it is spring loaded. It has a spring but its as far as it will go and still wont pull the cable back through.

Lined up? Do you mean when I put the shaft pictured above with the spring back into the casing. It has A thing it lines up with inside the casing and uses teeth to, Im guessing, pull the pressure plate on and off the clutch thats in it?

I figured out what I did. I didnt know there was not suppose to be much play from when the shaft was pulled. I put it in the wrong way. Thanks for helping though...
