Overhaul the levers, replace the rear der with any Campagnolo rear der, any
one, even 10s one from 2004, w/o modification it will work great.

Sachs is not compatible. It is compatible with shimano STI.

Look at my post and contact me.

Oil the pivot and spring of the thumb lever
Get a competent mechanic to look at your system. It's most
likely worn ergo springs ($10), not the changer.
Did you measure chain wear?
