To unjam it I have to shift back up one or more times before it will shift down. The cable does not look kinged. Bottom bracket lead is clean. I trimmed the hood a bit to allow the thumb paddle to return smoothly.
I have had problems with the return spring on Campy shifters in the past. I hope that this is not a problem on this new shifter.
What do you think?
Thanks.
Dan
Make sure that you are not inadvertently moving the downshift lever as you try to depress the thumb paddle. This can cause the effect you're seeing.
