The issue is that I was riding earlier today and all of a sudden my right shifter would not take up more than one gear per shift.
That's probably something different. Shifting gets softer as the G-springs wear and when they break or wear too far the shifters don't stay in gear, especially with larger cogs.
If you can't shift multiple cogs larger I'd suspect a problem with the front ratchet pawl not engaging correctly. With the 1992-1997 levers it has a tiny baby spring not sold separately from the paddle. 2009+ Ultra Shift levers use the main paddle return spring. I don't know what levers do between those times.
You probably want to replace G-springs and carrier as long as you have the lever apart because they are wear items, although they're not your (only) problem.
