In the photo I see another problem, the location of the clamp. As others have said, the 33C cable is too small for shifting duty on our engines but the outer sheath clamp location is similar on the larger 64C cable.
The metallic portion of the cable just beyond the red jacket has a groove. The clamp engages the groove without play but also without applying any pressure on the outer portion of the cable. The way it's pictured the outer cable is being squeezed and applying friction to the inner moving part. The tighter the clamping pressure, the more friction.
The standard cable clamps look like small plumbing straps but the difference is they have a pressed key that fits in the groove I mentioned.
