Hydraulic is butter soft, but requires a good system to be able to bleed and flush the hydraulic fluid to keep it crisp. When you said you were having issues after driving a bit, assuming you had hydraulics, I thought it would be air in the lines. I have seen the same issue as you with my cable on my T45. I think the cable does initially stretch a bit. MM thinks the cheaper aftermarket cables do this more. I have an MM to put on mine once I get it assembled again and I will see. I also read a bunch on adjusting. Many say there should be a air gap, others disagree. I did read that the SN95 tob was designed to ride on the fingers with light pressure and mine certainly does shift better adjusted that way. It's easy to know, just add a little more tension and go for a ride.
