I admit to getting by (several times) doing the cable without
replacing either the rubber cushion/washer or the trick slotted gizmo
that grabs the cable end.  If those parts on your car are still ok,
reuse them.  But, if you do have an extra $5 or so, it will probably
get you brand new non grease-caked examples.
