It is very likely that the clutch basket has notches worn into it from the plates. You'll need to pull the clutch basket out and file the slots smooth and reassemble. Have you ever changed or lubed the cable?
Does someone out there have photos of a notched basket?

Here is a pic of the grooves in the clutch basket. Just pull it off and smooth them out with a file.
