Shawn OK, great, that provides an excellent clue. Here is a very common mistake. Sometimes when you pull OFF the bar end shifter from a bike, the shifter is in an up position, like it was in the middle of the cassette. Then, when you reinstall it onto the barend pod you put it in the down position. That square shaped recess that you fit the base washer on to allows you to do this. The problem is that now you have hidden 2 or 3 clicks of your shifter. When you try to pull up to the bigger cogs on the cassette it goes click-click-click-click-SLIIIDE. The shifter feels like it only has 5 or 6 clicks instead of the 9 distinct positions it is supposed to have. Could you have done this? If so, remove the cable and count the clicks. If you don't have 9 distinct positions, then push the shifter all the way down, and then unscrew it. Re-attach it with the base washer rotated 90 degrees up, and count again. If you now have 9 distinct positions, then move on.
Check this first and then get back to us. Or if you are sure this already works, let us know and we'll move on.
