Hi Andy, thanks for the help. No it doesnt reset it just tightens up to a point where it no longer pushes across without a lot of effort and with no movement of the FD. Each time I shift up the FD extends out a little less each time while the shifter gets stiffer each time. And no it doesnt tighten up when there's no cable. This happens within about five or six shift ups, each time the FD moves a little less.
