pull the cluster out and check if the cable is spinning. I've broken a few of them

Did you hook it up right? Double check your work.

there is a clip that is suppose to go around it. Most people just jam the cable in though and dont put the clip on. if you get it in there deep enough you should be ok but I would put the clip on

The very bottom. If you look at the Tranny where the cable plugs in you will see a nipple sticking up with a hole in it. On the outside of that nipple there is a groover for a C clip to clip onto it holding the cable in place once it is slid into the nipple plug. Sorry, best way I could think of describing.
