Another question-
What would you up"upgrade" to?
Most of the "upgrade" FD's are for more speeds, thus will have a narrower cage, thus will be fussier to get adjusted properly without chain rub.
You are more likely to induce new problems.

This is a Tourney on my 3X9 with 22-32-36 rings.
It was a PAIN to get adjusted to work well, but it works. I went through an extra cable, because of all the adjusting (clamp, unclamp, clamp...)

IF it works OK, count your blessings.
