It is the part outside the grip. Prior to breaking, and after, the free play is/was WNL. This is the closing cable, so it wouldn't affect the free-play like the opening cable would.
The only difference in performance is when I go WOT. The closing cable drags a little on the metal ferrule at the end of the cable housing, so the throttle doesn't snap closed as quickly/strongly. I can get a moment of racing RPMs when I shift, if I don't physically twist it closed. I usually do anyways, although when WOT, I find I typically shift smoother if I let it snap back (less distance for my wrist to cover). This may not technically be proper technique, but it works for me.
EDIT: I was mistaken... it is the OPENING cable, not the closing cable.
Here it is:
