Thank you, I appreciate the advice. As it happens, I have a brand new clutch cable (from PP) sitting in my shop, waiting to be installed. The old one is not stretched to the point of being at the end of its possible adjustment, but the casing is kinked and ancient looking, so it needs replacement in any case. We'll see what happens.
