As above , right hand 105 shifter seems a bit reluctant to drop down the gears sometimes, took cable out etc. does drop eventually just seems sticky, its over 4 years old so maybe a bit of lube will help ... so use gt85 or other lubes , whats best for it

Ime silicone spray. Anything else attracts too much road grime and makes things much worse over time.

Are you sure you haven't got a partially seized rear mech? (I presume that you've already changed the inner & outer cable)
