Check your transmission vent hose...It is either kinked or restricted...We see this problem a lot in Mississippi...Certain insects build nest in the vent hose this causes pressure build up in the transmission causing it to force trans. oil into the clutch cable.

Well, there you go. Automatic cable luber. Put the plug back in every 10,000 miles for 50 miles or so. Then pull the plug. Should keep that clutch cable well oiled.
