Rapid-fire shifter problems

The grease solidifies around the pawls, they need a proper clean out. 3in1 is very good. Do both shifters.
This, I recently had a 500LX shifter that wouldn't shift anything. Only the lever would swing. It took a week of spraying once a day with GT85 or Plusgas and agitating to break down the solidified grease. It's good as new now.

Just an update. Removed the plastic casing and some of the springs as there was bits of gear cable stuck in the shifter. This has now been removed and shifter is.... Shifting :)
 
Re:

My neighbour has the same problem, I've recommended he spends quater of a day taking the shifter apart
half a can of WD40, and quater of a day assembling the shifter.
