Clutch cable adjustment is finicky, and many people and pro mechanics do it
incorrectly. It usually needs a couple adjustments as a new clutch or
cable breaks in, too. Check se-r.net for adjustment procedures. If you
can grab the lever on the tranny (easy on B14s, no so on B13s) it should
have about 3/16" freeplay.
I dunno much about this "shockproof" stuff, but if it's really thick or
clingy it could impair syncho function.
