  Appreciate your input.

  It seems like it "should" be a fairly simple fix. If I tip the shifter upside down, gravity pushes the pawl into place and I can shift through all the gears perfectly well. It seems like the pawl just needs some pressure on it keeping it in place and without seeing the internals of this section I can't figure out where the pressure should come from/why the existing set up isn't providing any.

  I mean the little ratchet. When in an upright position, as the shifter would sit on the bars, it drops down off the the teeth of the mechanism as there is no tension on it.

  thanks for the response. I've shot a load of degreaser through it and I don't think that is the issue. There is no tension whatsoever on the ratchet, it can move freely as if there isn't a spring at all.

  Any ideas? Anyone got a 5800 shifter that they could look at?

  Hi guys

  I have a left Shimano 105 5800 shifter that won't shift. I've opened it up a little and it looks as though the ratchet (might not be the correct term for this) no longer returns. It should be spring loaded, so my thoughts are that the spring has broken, but I can't see any obvious evidence of a broken spring. I have Googled this to try and get a view of what this "should" look like but haven't had any luck. I've added some photos of the part that should spring back but doesn't.

  Anyone had this problem before and solved it?

  Cheers
