My suggestion? Carry an extra clutch cable. They aren't terribly expensive, you can wind it up and zip-tie it under the seat, and your cable has been through a lot of, uh, trauma.

Teflon seems to be the coating material most often mentioned, but I have no idea if that's the case here. After I flushed out the Chain Wax and Cable Lube with kerosene, I lubed the cable with a tiny bit of oil and it seems to be working just fine now. @Carlos: I’ve been told that some cables are coated.

I actually had to double-check to see what I recommended for you. I thought I may have been to blame. :) I've some Maxima products, and never had an issue; I have not used their cable lube. I've stuck to the Motion Pro, but I'm surprised that the Maxima caused that much of an issue. Good to know I should keep it away from my SV. Maybe some oil is all it takes?
