AM servo delayed or no shifting

working with a rookie team this year, we decided to go with the Gen 2 AM 2 speed servo shifters. 2 years prior while working with 341, i worked with the pneumatic shifters but because of weight, 2234 wasnt able to have a pneumatic system. during the build season we were able to get the servos working but had trouble on our last day of testing before ship. the right side's servo didnt seem to be powerful enough to shift. it can be seen struggling. at chesapeake, our first regional, i switched out the servo. but it still need help. using a 2 stick tank drive, we had to shake the joystick to help the servo shift up. we added grease, it got a little better but still have delay issues. there is about a 2-5 second shifting delay of both gearboxes. we also have issues where it will shift when we are tethered but doesnt always work through a radio connection when we are on the field. does anyone have any suggestions we can try when we get to atlanta? could it be a programming problem?

thanks in advance
