and shift it back and forth while turning the pedals etc..?
Good thinking, and remionds me of how sometimes the rear cable housing gets hung up on certain quick-release nuts or a rack strut, either of which can somewhat foul the shifting. The housing should follow it's own path and not tucked in or stuffed under, etc.
