Rough/sticky clutch pedal 200 1989

Hello,
The clutch pedal in my '89 244 has a slight rough/sticky feeling when being pressed and released. It's not difficult to press and the stickiness is only noticeable when making fine adjustments of the clutch pedal/moving the pedal slowly. My concern is that it makes starting from stopped jerky because once the clutch starts to engage, it's very difficult to keep the pedal release smooth. It seems to be the same whether the car is in gear or not.

The clutch was replaced by the previous owner(they didn't drive it much due to faulty fuel pump relay), and I've only had the car for about a year, so it probably has less than 15k on it.

Could the fix be as simple as replacing the clutch cable, or is there a chance the problems is more serious?

Thanks for your help!
