Shimano Deore front shifter problem

[peter bill]

Hey guys

I have a problem with the front gear shifter on my Shimano Deore on mountain bike.

I first noticed there was a problem when the front gears refused to move. I went out and bought a new front derailleur as it seemed this was the problem.

After having fitted the new front derailleur I hooked everything back together and although the front gear shifter seemed to work at first and I thought I had fixed it, then the front shifter stopped clicking and stopped moving the cable, stuck in one position.

Is this the end of my front shifter or can it be fixed somehow?

Thanks in advance for you help guys!
