Do you have a cable luber? That should force the crap out.

CREAMYBEAN, YOU SHOULD CONSIDER JUST REPLACING THE CABLE ... THEY ARE INEXPENSIVE ... WHY CHANCE THE CABLE NOT FULLY RELEASING AND PREMATURLY WEARING OUT YOUR CLUTCH ... NOW YOU HAVE AN EVEN BIGGER EXPENSE ... CABLE LUBERS WORK WELL BEFORE THE CABLE IS SOILED AND BINDING ... IF YOU HAD A BAD WHEEL BEARING, WOULD YOU JUST THROW SOME GREASE ON IT ... YOU WILL BE HAPPIER, AND SAFER IN THE END

thanks luvsandpits....i'll order a new cable and start with the lube
