your gonna need a new cable or a new lever...
What I had to do with mine, because the stock cable broke (it had been sitting for years). I just took it out when to the local bike store and bought a tandem bike break cable its like 9ft long (just the cable not the sleeve). I had to do some grinding on the end to get it to fit into the grove on the gearbox side. Then I just cut the other tip off and wrapped it through the hole on the lever a couple times and used one of the wheel collars I had laying around to secure it. The break cable is a tad thinner than the original, but mine has been holding up pretty good. I'd like to change it all out soon to the type of lever that I posted, along with the correct type of cable, but if it aint broke, don't fix it!
this is the type of wheel collar http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...Ears&search=Go
this is like the cable, you can see the smaller end is not rounded, so I ground it into a ball.
