not sure what its like on a sierra, but i just removed the cover under neath the jimny that exposes the clutch cable, and sprayed a shit load of wd-40 in it. crude i know, and im sure there is a better way, but it kinda worked for me

Pull it off. Put it on the cloths line and spray WD40 or something like that down from the top till it comes out other end. Then refit. Or buy a new one.

WD40 comes off with water, Lanolin or silicon is some what a bit more water resistant. Look along the cable to see if the casing is broken. But yeah, better off replacing it ohterwise you will be doing it again next month. |

Silicon spray. 
Comes in a can like wd-40. Perfect for stuff like that. |

WD40 is probably not the best lubricant, i found when i used it to lube my throttle cable it became 10x worse!!! Spray grease or inox...or whatever i can find floating round the workshop |

i use chain lube for motorbikes, its a little more thicker than that of silicon sprays, also seems to stick around longer than anything else i have used. |

WD40 and the like does attract dust and crap and will wash off alot of anything that works as lube in there. Pushbike chain lube works awesomly for this kind of stuff, motorbike lube is a little thick and can get a bit gummed up. |

you can get graphite powder in a grease version (ie: powder suspended in lube) - its supposed to be slipperier and stick better. |

This is what I use with motorbike cables, luber from any bike stop and the graphite spray will have it better than new - mind you you'll pay about $30 for those 2 items
