Sounds like you may have water in the cable that has frozen. Have you lubricated the cables lately? Can you get the car into a heated garage for a while to see if the problem will go away after the lines thaw? If it is a frozen cable you will want to check the dust cap to make sure the frozen cable didn't destroy the hole. Just out of curiosity, what do you lubricate the angle drive with?
