1) Lube the clutch cable (it can't hurt and it might help).
2) Retest for clutch slack and, if necessary, adjust the cable tension (I am assuming the service manual will tell me how, I haven't had a chance to break that out as yet and the general manual was fairly vague about it).

Slack is slack. If it didn't feel like slack, then it isn't and needs to be adjusted. I would do that first BEFORE you try to lube the cable (which is NOT as easy as you might think).
And that 5 MM I suggested is BARE MINIMUM; the book says 10-15 MM.
What the owner's manual doesn't tell you is that the cable adjustment hardware is UNDER a rubber boot (at least on late models) which you must move first.
The instructions appear vague because the adjustment is really simple. No offense intended but if you can't figure this out, you had better find a mechanically inclined friend or a good shop. :roll:
