I'm feeling pretty good about the bent-ness. I think I can get it to a reasonably working angle with a little work.

I picked up a new cable, 'cause the old one was frayed and badly de-twisted twards the end. (I needed pliars to pull it through the housing.)

I'm not having much luck threading the new one into the shifter, though. I have a gripshift, and the angle it has to take from the little clamp hole to get out through the bit where the adjuster is is pretty sharp. Any tips? There're no further parts I can take it apart, and it seems to be threading through a different path most of the time--I can put a good 6" of cable into it without seeing it at the other hole, which is only 2" or so away from it.
