For its price, XTR has no business showing up on this thread. How old is it?
It is an original part on my 2001 Cannondale Jekyll. It isn't what I would call broken, it is however not perfect between just those two gears. I will take it apart and hopefully find some gummed up old lube. But I've got a couple other projects that take priority. fwiw, I love my xtr and xt components.

lol. That's why I buy used unless absolutely necessary.
