Well I found out what the culprit was during a 75 mile ride on Saturday. I was about 12 miles from the end when the cable snapped leaving me with 2 gears hard and harder. I took it to a different shop and he replaced the cable but noticed it still wasn't shifting right so he flipped the bike over and for some reason the cable was catching underneath the derailleur. He put a little washer on and then tightened the cable which did the trick. I really don't know how that happened other than I was working on it and broke the lipe off of the clamp and my LBS put another one on. It must have been off of a different derailleur and not as thick I assume.

Well the good news is it shift great now. Thanks for all of you suggestions.
