Need some help. My left downshift paddles tension is gone. The normal clicking feeling into gear is gone. It will change gears, but with a simple touch on the paddle.

Anyone had this issue? A DIY maybe? Feels like a spring might be broken.

Thanks,

Ruf

It does sound like a spring, have you looked at the parts diagram at realoem yet?
