Might just be the clip on the pedal. May only need to replace the cable itself.

I drove mine for about 8 miles when my cable snapped, the box didnt like it at all!

Was a bit stiff and clunky after i got the new cable on putting it into gear for a good week or so afterwards, seems sweet now though - wouldnt recommend it!

Could be fubard gear linkages. Spraying some grease on them should sort it for a while.
