When re-installing them on my trekking bars, I took the shifters completely apart and degreased everything and put them back together with new cables and new cable housings all the way back. I must say, shifting is improved by a wide margin, and I'm not dissatisfied with how it operates now. I wasn't happy with them when I first got the bike, but I think I'll run these shifters, at least for now. I generally prefer trigger shifters, but twisters are going to work significantly better with my setup I think.

So I'll rock the 20 year old Sram shifters on my 20 year old vintage tourer.
