If your 9 speed DA will shift in one direction, but will not return without your holding the brake lever, then it's toast. 9 speed DA and Ultegra are known for wearing out this way and no it can not be repaired. I had an expert try it with mine.
BTW 9 speed can be integrated with 105, Ultegra or Tiagra. You are not forced to replace with DA.
Try cleaning it out, but I doubt it will help with a 9 speed.
