The inside right shift lever on my 4 year old DA shifter takes a lot of
pressure and movement to downshift the cogs on the rear cassette. The
shifters have almost 17000 mi on them without any maintenence. Any
simple fixes to cure this minor irritant. (Please, no suggestions to
switch to Campy, I am unemployed)

See if the cable is kinked or binding. You could try new cables and
housings, including the small housing near the derailleur. Make sure the
cable guide under the BB is clean and lubed. Use good quality 5mm SIS
housing, and good quality cables.If that doesn't help, try flushing the lever with WD-40. Not much else you
can do.Art Harris
