Its an awfully difficult thing to help with, not being able to see and feel the stuation.
Is there any possibility of having a local club member to give you a hand?
I assure you the problem is minimal.
If you cant get help tonight and want to keep at it, inspect the routing of the cable and its alignment at each end.
Most cables will tollerate sweeping bends, the problem lies usually someplace around one end of the sleeve that guides the cable being out of alignment with its destination.
Understand??
