[ST] Time for a new clutch cable?

["Jeremy Witt" <jeremyw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So I'm riding north after work, in the rain, heading for a haircut.  I notice at every stop light, after exiting the highway, that I can smell burning clutch or brake.  Since it's raining, I figure it can't be brake, and I haven't noticed any dragging feeling.  Eventually I realize that the clutch is "suddenly" (not too inattentive, am I?) engaging very, very close to the hand grip.  I spin out the adjuster several threads, to the point I'm afraid to go any further, lest the thing fall out, and not much improvement.  
 
The only thing I can figure on this is the cable is near failure and stretching, perhaps as the individual strands give way?  
 
Anyone have this happen, maybe,  just before the "snap"?  Or is it something more expensive?  
 
Also, what's a good online source for reasonably priced cables?  Might as well do the slightly sticky throttle cable at the same time.
 
TIA,
JDW
