Yes, but if it's doing that, the cable is probably seized up.  Go get an OEM Suzuki cable from the dealership.  Parts store cables are junk.  Just went through this.  Cable from Advance Auto binded up in less than a year.  Just replaced it with an OEM cable.  Smooth as butta.

ADJUST YOUR CABLE FIRST


I spent $70 on a new cable, and my old one was fine. The adjustment is next to the transmission on the passenger side. It COULD be a bad cable, but it only takes 10 min to adjust your existing cable and see if that's the problem.

While your down there pull the cable down with your finger you should feel it touch the throw out bearing, if not back it off till you do, should be like one turn off from no play at all.
