I would also vote for changing the cable. They're around $15 and easy to change. I recently did mine, and changed to a new spring as well, and it made a world of difference. Plus I added an extra dose of lube before the install.

When I looked mine up on the Auto Parts Store website, it showed a 23-1/2" cable as the correct one. I also looked up a shorter one (18-1/2") and ordered it as well. When I did the change, it turned out the shorter one was better for my application. So I just returned the one I didn't use.
