I thought the clutch was cable operated.

LOL! Yeah, Jimnys have cable clutches! My memory appears to be working on something with a hydraulic clutch.

Tested in 5th gear and car stalled right away.

I didnt had a clutch cable cover (plastic thingie) for quite a while. Could that cause some issues?

Not really sure what part you are referring to (going by my earlier contribution, I'm not really sure of anything to do with Jimnys, LOL!)
but if there is a plastic cover missing, the clutch cable could have corroded and be sticking. Not sure how that could be affected by the cars temperature though as corrosion would cause it to stick hot or cold.

As i said earlier it's likely the oil causing this, I've had it with mine. The best and easiest thing is to change the oil to a known gl4 its very simple if a bit fiddly to do, there's guides in the wiki. Don't take the garages word for what they have used, change it and be sure. Oil is cheap compared to gearboxes.

Theres also the little rubber bushes on the stick linkage which make for hard gear changing when they are worn. really cheap thing to try ;-)
