Deterioration of the liner of the sheath, probably combined with some moisture that's made its way in there as the plastic housing separated. Unhook it from the throttle spool, and drip ATF down the cable into the housing. Tri-Flow teflon lube works really well too, I'm just not sure how good it is for the transmission - it will eventually make its way down there if you use enough of it. I've been limping my 780 kickdown cable along for a while now with a periodic relubrication.
