STI shifter problems.
Hi,
My Left STI shifter (Shimano 4500) stopped working.
The shifter is connected to a dualdrive hub. (I've taken the click box on and off a couple times to see if it would help).
The lever when squeezed to operate the front brake works, but when I release the lever, the shifting portion does not quite return to the bar. There's a 5-6mm gap. I can snap it back in place manually but this does not restore shifting.
This is unfortunately a new bike so it's covered by warranty if I have to return it. No crashes. No spills. I looked at the Shimano STI 4500 manual and it doesn't cover this occurence. I'm hoping this is something easy and silly to fix....
Thanks.

It's a folding bike that wasn't available locally so I ordered from a reputable online dealer.
The dealer isn't sure what's wrong with the shifting and offered to have it picked up so he could look at it,
but I was hoping to save everyone time and money by finding a solution.
Again I'm trying to be optimistic that this could be something silly that can be fixed w/out taking apart the whole shifter!
