The RSX-STI shift cable broke. How do I replace the cable? It there an on-line manual/diagram for that shifter?

Solutions
I am not aware of any online manuals from Shimano. The replacement of the shift cable is fairly simple.
First, shift the inner lever as many times as it will click. Next, pull the brake lever in. Look on the outside top of the brake lever and you will see a small opening and hopefully the end of the cable. Push the cable out the opening and insert a new cable and presto, you've repalced the shift cable on your RSX-STI shifter.
