Are they "real" SRAM grip shift or some cheap knockoff?
Gripshift stuff was never disposable - especially in comparison with Shimano. There were a few internal parts and you could take it apart, clean it and put it back together with little effort. Shimano shifters have 100's of parts and is a nightmare to take apart and put back together again.
My old 9 speed Gripshift with Gore cables was one of the best shifter systems I ever used. I could go up or down the cassette with ease.
