What I ended up finding out is the cable makes a big difference. I had gone cheap and got a large bundle of no-name cable from desertcart and figured I would give Shimano Optislick Shift Inner Cable a try since it was highly rated. This cable solved everything, the shifting is perfect, everything is smooth and all the indexing troubles I was having were solved. So, if you are replacing your shifter to work with your acolyte derailer change that cable to a good one. Review: Great drivetrain - Great drivetrain.
