I find all the RF+ shifters do that in the cold-mine do anyway. I think it is the factory lube they have in there gets really thick, and some prawl won't engage. Anyway, I've had some luck with blasting the internals with WD-40....it will degrease the mechanical guts, which may or may not be good long term, but if you are going to ditch the shifter anyway-nothin' to lose.
