Piss easy to replace the mech, but getting hold a new cable is gonna be far from easy.

I sold a used cable on eBay a few years ago for nearly £50, so make what you will of that....

Are you serious did you actually get paid for it?

Try lubing the whole cable assembly before doing any bidding on bits.

In my experience, the cable stiffens up, you then pull-harder on the handle & then said handles wimpy, plastic surround pulls free from the A-pillar & never actually wants to stayed clipped to the pillar again.

maybe a motorcycle cable with solderless nipple can be used
I would imagine a corsa b one would fit
