DT shifter slipping

It appears maybe it’s a combination of the two? The bolt is pretty tight. When I notice the derailer slip, I can just tighten the wingnut ever so slightly. I don’t think it’s loosened enough to cause the shifter to slip, but I’m not familiar enough with this shifter to know.

I will try blue loctite and carbon paste. If that doesn’t work, I will contact you. Very kind of you!

Well, nothing worked. So Mr. Old Potatoe hooked me up with a Campy DT shifter. No rattles this morning as I rode! No slippage! And I kind of dig the mismatchy look. Thanks OP and everyone else.

Nice bike on an inviting trail! BTW, I put my DT shifters into pods and used them as barends which made my Riv Allrounder easier to manage off-road because I never had to ride one-handed on rough ground.
