I was thinking about this last night while trying to fall asleep. I think it would be a good idea on older cars to pull cable and re-lube them just to help smooth out a little more. Or maybe making or finding some kind of adapter that would go on the tranny end of cable to get rid of this problem. That just means more money and not so plug and play, which is nice.
