I wouldn't use the lithum grease in the cable. It would be too thick and sticky and add drag. The Triflow can be found at Ace hardware... at least that's where I get mine, here. if nothing else, clean the cable out with the wd40 and just leave it like that so the cable slides easily within the sheath.

Yes, any type of wheel bearing grease on the cable ends is better than none. I like the Belray cause it's a HD, waterproof wheel bearing grease. A lot of bike shops carry it.

remember to lube the pivot bolt on the clutch perch, too, with some grease when reassembling so the clutch lever action is as smooth as can be.
