I can see what you are advising. The short piece of casing at the rear derailleur had a lot of friction on the reassembly . I replaced it with new.
I will get busy and check back later.
Perfect day for this...it's raining
I'd suggest that you replace all of the outer housing. The old inner wire wears a groove (one of the sources of cable "stretch") into the housings and the new wire may bind in the groove. Also ensure that the housing ends are properly prepared and that appropriate ferrules are installed.
