Renewing derailleur and cassette.

[screenman]

You beat me to it, I was about to suggest hanger alignment.

For some reason a lot of people do not get around to doing that which should be done first. I have known of plenty of nexus go out of alignment without even being knocked about, such a simple thing to check.

Tha hanger alignment was checked and corrected at the shop as the very first thing done, I missed it from the op but mention it in the thread later.

I was writing about people in general, I did see you line about adjusting it.

Hah, I knew his rang a bell. My thread last year on the bottom four gears being a problem.

Hokay!

It's not the H screw tensioner.

It's the bit that is part of the connection attachment to the drop out.

The bit that's snapped off has a limiter on it preventing the derailleur rotating too far forward.

Not sure what it's called to get a replacement.

@Tin Pot 's problem (link to thread above) was that the hanger was not screwed onto the frame properly. Worth checking (again?)

I fixed a similar issue if I am hearing you correctly ( Shifting upwards onto the 4 largest cogs is failing and requires an extra push on the shifter)

I changed Chain, cassette and inner and outer cable and it still didn't work correctly, before changing the mech I noticed the jockey wheels were well worn and the top one was not moving from side to side freely so I changed the jockey wheels and that sorted it.

Yes you're hearing me correctly. Pretty much doing the same as you, hanger aligned, new inner cable fitted new chain at home and a new cassette on it's way. hope that's it sorted.

It's not being caused by that last short section of outer that runs to the mech is it ?

Food for thought, the cassette is due a change anyway but i'll keep that in mind, cheers.
