At clutch end of cable (Daewoo Kalos) is a rubber washer which has gone soft due to it getting a bit oily and it has split allowing the outer cable end to now make metal to metal contact with the fixed part on the bell housing.
It happened before under warranty and the solution was a new cable kit.
Ideally I would like to replace the rubber with something suitable.
Any ideas?
turn a piece of nylon to suit?
Seconded. All it has to do is act as a spacer. The material its made of is reasonably irrelevent.
I suspect it may need stretching to fit it over a part of the cable assy. It appears to go between two washers (to cushion the thrust)
your cheapest, easiest option is to just fit a new cable.
And fix the oil leak ;-)

Could you try nitrile rubber, which shouldn't swell like this in oil?
