<VV> was> Unsolvable Clutch Problem in my FC-cable routing/length

A very small change in radius of a cable (or cable and liner) will make a
much bigger difference than you might think at first.  Just changing from a
3" radius to 4" radius over half a circle, results in a difference in 1" of
arc length, or travel at the other end of the cable...

....When the liner wears
out, the cable rubs against the metal cable housing accelerating wear but
most importantly allows the cable to straighten out at the curves and less
movement is seen at the clutch rod as a result.  .
