When I disconnected it from the push/pull cable, I was surprised to find that it is still as smooth as the day I installed it. So it seems to be a good heater valve after all. But the cable on the other hand is not very smooth at all. Since I was already armed with a selection of compression springs, I went ahead and installed one as per Georges suggestion and it works great to overcome the cable fricton. However this is really just a bandaid as I will replace the cable. I'm using the same cable for the floor/vent selector and the Matco parking brake with no problems but they both have a little better routing, so I'll likely just buy another of the same and re-route it. I just thought I'd pass it on that the simple, cheap heater valve is still functioning well.
