If what he says is accurate then it has nothing to do with the clutch cable, no matter how screwed up the cable is your bike should NEVER drop down a gear by itself.

All the gears should be smooth, unless you are a completely new rider and just paranoid I'd have it looked at. Shifting from 1st to 2nd and sometimes ending up in neutral is common for beginner riders, shifting from 1st to 2nd, being in 2nd for a little bit and the gears dropping down to neutral is NOT normal.
