Might sound odd, but check the oil level, I 'feel' when my oil has become low through how my gearbox feels (or it's my imagination  lol )

Corrosion on the gear linkage? Squirt of WD40 or whip if off and give it some copper grease treatment. Sorted mine. :fix:

I had problems with my gear change last year - just needed some grease on the spindle
