Yep, this stuff. That's what I'd do if it were my bike.
Also, you can pickup cable housing for cheap. So slip the black outer cable part off then slide this over the inner cable (assuming you have internally routed cables) and tape it on both sides. So when you go to run the new cable you can just slip it through this guide and not fish it.
You need a little length of 'inner housing' or 'liner' to feed the cable through. Something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Jagwire-Black-Housing-Liner-Cables/dp/B0029LF1XO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1517855526&sr=8-1&keywords=housing+liner
The rubber bit you have is not ideal since it will 'grip' the cable and add friction to the shfiting. You don't want that.
Do NOT change the way your cable is clamped since that will change the actuation of the derailleur which is specific to the angle the cable approaches the derailleur from the frame.
If you're looking for smart internal cable routing ideas, check out the frame on the Cannondale Synapse 5. As far as internal routing goes, it's perfect. In addition to great entries/exits, it passes internally underneath the BB (with internal cable guide). Also, you should use cable liner when routing internally.
