Sorry, not in my experience. I used 1996 8s rear ders. With modern shifters(10s) and 2013 rear ders with 8s ergo and a lot in between. The only incompatibility is with early index stuff and that didn't work at all.
But got a 2002 10s shifter and 2000 new Rder? It'll work.
Branford has been in the sell ya something mode for years. I have used 2008 10s rear ders as replacement rders for ergo and DT shifters going all the way back to 1991/2. And they worked great. Sorry, my experience in the trenches says the 'Branford' documents are not accurate.
