I have old Shimano 600 brakes/shifters (i think they were one of the first releases). Lately i need to push the front shifter 4 or 5 times, sometimes more, before the Chain moves back from the big to the small chainring. I mentioned this problem on the repair shop but it was not fixed, so im guessing im having something serious going on. Something might be broken on the front brake/shifter lever? The front derailleur looks ok i think. By the way the repair shop was more into Mountain Bikes and Leisure Bikes, maybe they were not used to repair this kind of stuff. In case its actually broken, can it be repaired? Replacement parts are available with standard measures for example?

Any thoughts or comments... Thanks
Not repariable if broke or wore out. Try flushing with wd-40 and them elubing with a spray lube. Also make sure you don't have a cable or casing issue.
