On my Vitus 979, I have a Franken setup right the way through. Accushift, Record crank and Sugino 75 FD up front ... a SunTour MTB RD (XC) and a Shimano 6 FW on the tail. Things were not going well in friction mode. There was some auto-shifting, and I was hunting for the cog. Maybe some shims are worn. So I switched to index, which I expected not to work. So far, it works nicely. Rather surpirsing, but there you are.
