The problem may be that the whole cable is moving when you pull rather that just the inner wire. This may be because the cable sheath is loose under the cable clamps/holdowns in the engine compartment.

If so, loosen the cable holdowns in the engine compartment and pull the cable tight (into the compartment) and tighten holdowns. You may need to wrap eletrical tape (or whatever) around the sheath section under the clamps for them to be effective.
