I let her cool down so I could do my cleaning on everything including the flex shaft. When I pulled it out I found that in the area where the shaft is in the clutch housing there was major wear. What do you guys think? Not enough grease? Something binding? I don't want to start pulling things apart if I don't have to.
Looking like something hard making contact - like steel on steel. I would try to track down the point of contact as it appears to have ruined 1 cable and will no doubt do more damage. Lube will mask the problem to a degree but I would be looking for the cause to ensure all is not a symptom of a bigger issue.
