Mebbe try the 'universal' Shimano shifter fix: turn 'em upside down and dowse with copious amounts of WD40. Let sit. Dowse again and try working the shifting mechanism.

There may also be a bit of broken shifter cable stuck in there that ya can't see.

Well to my surprise I removed the shifter turned it upside down and gave it a couple of taps and it freed up the cable hook and all is well. It must of been stuck in the housing and operates perfectly now with the cable installed.
Thanks for the suggestion Mike!
