My cable is binding up pretty good, and lube doesn't seem to be helping.

I've searched and found New cables (set of 2) for $90 shipped, or everyone wants to sell the entire used shifter assembly for the same price or higher.

I just need the Forward (upper cable on the shifter) one if someone has a spare they're willing to part with at a fair price?

PM me if you've got one for sale, thanks.


EDIT: Please delete as I ordered a new set. Thanks

I recently rebuilt a few shifters and was able to get all my cables loose using a chain / cable lube. Try using masking or painters tape around the end of each end of the cable to form a cone at the enternce of the cable. Fill that with the lube and work the cable back and forth removing gunk from the cable during the process. Unless the cable itself is compromised this should work. I suggest taking it completely apart before you buy a new cable. Either way, be sure to fill the shifter with grease upon reassemblely. Some of the ones I took apart had none remaining and dirt/grime in its place.

Here are other things to consider:
The shifter itself could be worn. As you can see in this picture the shifter grears/stops are worn.

And in this picture the pull shift mechanism failed on the left 2 pieces. One the nipple is sheared right off and the other the spring stop has let go and no longer working.

Thanks for the tips, but she is toast. Pretty sure the teflon lining came undone inside the sheath and is now binding up the cable.

Tried the lube trick, but it just got stiffer.

Definitely not the shifter, had the cable in my hands trying to free it.

Alright, I think I have a cable for you then. On one of my shifters one of the cable started to fray at the end but the other was still good. I just don’t know if it was the forward or reverse. I’ll let you know tonight.

Unfortunately the frayed cable was the one that you needed, sorry bud.

Thanks for looking, i appreciate that. I'm sure I'm going to have to break down and buy the new set. :(
