How do you fix a sticky shifter?

Do Shimano shifters wear out?
Yes, they do wear out -some faster than others- but you should be fine sticking with what you have.
Why do bikes skip gears?
Most of the time, a skipping chain is caused by cable stretch. In the first half dozen rides on a new bike, your shift cables stretch the most. They can also stretch over time as you ride. Hippley explains, “It takes cable tension to open a derailleur, which shifts your chain between gears.
How many speeds do I need on my bike?
In terms of how the number of gears affects the overall ride of the bike, a 21-speed is generally faster with smoother transitions and pedaling. The 7-speed is adequate for most riders, which is why many people choose the slower option.
Why do my gears feel sticky?
If your car has sticky gears, it could be due to a clogged transmission filter. If you allow this to go on too long, then your pump could wear out. A clogged filter can also allow air to be incorporated into the fluid. This will cause problems with your hydraulic pressure in your system.
What causes the gear shifter to stick?

Why is my gear stick stiff in the morning?
The culprit was Clutch master cylinder leakage. Due to less pressure, Clutch is not disengaged properly and it hold the gear shift hard. However the problem is more in morning start up and as the car warm up the problem vanishes. You may also face more problem when there is more rain (moisture).
