Oh Lord. Thank goodness I don't have to go that route. I don't even have paint thinner in the house.
Anyways, it seems that tightening up the cable was all that was needed to get it back in gear (so to speak). I've been riding the R20 for a few days now and it doesn't shift into third - unasked - unless I shift it to third.
Luckily for me it was an easy fix.
