Something went bang inside the right hand (rear) shifter of my Sirrus. I presume a spring has broken as there is now very little resistance when changing down (to larger diameter sprockets). It still shifts when required, but also sometimes shifts up without any user input. A look inside the shifter suggests that dismantling would be a challenge, even if parts are available.
The shifter is a Shimano SL-R440 9 speed flat bar shifter, which shifts a 9 speed 105 rear mech (I think it's 5500).
Will any Shimano 9 speed shifter work, or do MTB shifters have a different cable pull from those sold for flat bars?
