Sounds like your clutch needs to be adjusted. Do you have an aftermarket quadrant and firewall adjuster?

The stock cable is better than aftermarket cables.

First, the stock cable is not self-adjusting. It is just a cable. It is a good cable, better than aftermarket ones. Keep it if it is working ok.
The symptoms you describe may be ones of an improperly adjusted clutch. Find the owners manual and follow the proceedure for adjusting the clutch.

Better still, get an aftermarket quadrant and firewall adjuster. It will make adjusting the clutch easier and help the clutch live longer.

If after doing these basic things, the clutch still vibrates, then there may be an installation issue that needs to be looked into.
For an experienced mechanic, these clutches are simple, but for an inexperienced person, there are plenty of areas than can cause problems.
