SRAM S7 Clickbox - whats inside?
I have a good new bike, aprx 18 months old. The gears suddenly stuck. Dismantled the shifter assembly and took it to the shop. A guy who said he was a mechanic claimed the Clickbox was shot. I find this hard to believe, as the bike is barely used.
I took the parts home to work on myself. The shifter on the handlebar opened easily, all parts are apart; shifter, wire and clickbox. But I cannot get the Clickbox apart.
Does anyone know - can the clickbox can be opened and serviced?

Thanks but still unclear
Thanks for help!
A lot of good mechanic tips in the TM, but I didn't see any info on actually taking the Clickbox apart.
They say there is a spring inside, which I know.

I have an older Sachs 7 with that clickbox, and I am afraid of it. My plan, for now, is to try to find a backup one from Ebay (or somewhere) to cover me when it goes belly up. Good luck, and please do let us know how your repair attempt goes. I will be interested.

Of course, the alignment marks in the little window need to line up in 4th position, assuming you have the mini clickbox, which I belive all the newer ones do.
Internal malfunction of the clickbox is unlikely, but possible.
