Rip shifter

[mfp4073]

Driving through Newcastle today in heavy traffic was a major PITA,my rip shifter was terrible in use.
It was ok going up and down the gears but moving the gear lever left to right across to select gears was very difficult.
When I got home I switched off the engine and went through the gears,from neutral moving over to first was again almost solid! a good wallop it went across then in.. 1st to 2nd,.. OK 2nd to 3rd OK down to 4th OK but moving across to 5th again solid,a good hit and it went in! down to 6th OK
So engine running or not same result.
Can I adjust or grease the selector?

Thanks again, Regards John

Never had an issue with mine in the past so I suggest the joints have dried up as it sits above the hot g box. Use a spray oil, not WD40 as that just dries off. Always found 3in1 spray oil to be good and stays wet.... Eg lubed.
