FWIW, I once installed a RD cable incorrectly such that a strand of the cable did not exit the cable housing to the RD. The loose cable strand bunched up inside of the cable housing which I could not see, but caused all sorts of shifting issues. It became obvious when I disconnected the cable from the RD and tried to slide the cable housing back and forth along the cable, it was binding. Replacing the cable fixed the problem.
