Sunrace rear mech - twist shifter is causing complications with my little girls riding - really stiff to shift!!

Ideally would like a normal rapid fire type shifter - for 5 speed?? Any ideas?

Is second hand ok? I volunteer at a bike recycling charity and we might well have something in the big box of shifters. I'm down tomorrow so can check if you want. Cost would be minimal + postage.

If not you can buy a 7 or 8 speed freewheel and a shifter for very little.

Right there's no rapidfire shifters in 5 speed but there are a couple of 5 speed thumb shifters but that may not be ideal...
