I use and recommend a special lube for cables. It is called dri-slide
and is found in motorcycle shops, It has moly and graphite in it. Most
importantly the nozzle is a 4-5in. long steel needle that you insert
into the cable between the cable and the housing to really pump the lube
in deep. Works great on old wobbly speedo cables, e-brake cables,
throttle, clutch. etc.
