Kind of rare to actually know though. Normally you just have hypotheses that you have to test .
If you know for certain what the problem is you should have already fixed it!

Problem develops in last big training ride before goal ride.
Bike fitter consulted. Solution becomes obvious - new shoes and pedals needed.
There's a risk with implementing this before goal ride but risk of change is outweighed by known issue of worn shoes + pedals. Risk minimised by buy new version of same shoes.

Unless you know it's the thing causing the problem.
ie. my missus was having problems during AAA SR we used to train up for ALPI4000. Changed worn out shoes and pedals and she was fine and dandy for ALPI.
So, if you KNOW what the problem is, don't let it linger but don't change stuff in the hope it will fix an issue as like Frank says, there's always a risk with unknown/new kit.
