However - you might be right, your old shifter probably does not have the cable take up range to reach the low gears on the large rear cog.

make sure the cable is properly adjusted when on the small cog so as to give you the maximum cable take up range.

there is a modification that might work. But need more info first so as to prevent 100+ "helpful" posts based on massive speculation.

help us, help you

Fair enough! Yes, swapped 10 speed cassette with another 10 speed going from 38 lowest gear to 46. If I adjust for highest gear (11) I don't have enough pull to get to the 46. I don't really care about the highest gears so it's now adjusted to be able to reach the 46. Seems like a few mm more would get me there!
