As far as I can tell, the derailleurs are functional copies of Campagnolo 8-speed derailleurs, with an actuation ratio of 1.43:1.

Way different than the 1.67 Shimano actuation ratio.
Your experience seems to be opposite everyone else's:

Sachs New Success derailleur index compatibility

Sachs New Success Der. + Plus Shimano shifter = ?- Mtbr.com


I haven't mounted my New Success derailleur yet, but I'll let you know.
