thanks chris.
Chris, My take on this is that the cable is stuck within the tube - nothing to do with the clip that is most likely long gone.

Within that tube (if my hunch is correct) is a collection of debris causing the cable to stick.
You'll need to work at the debris and little by little, while the debris is dislodged, the cable will be able to be removed.
It's a tedious task but very doable with patience.
I have run a small diameter (1/8") drill down each end of the tube to aid the removal of debris.
