Hey Everybody,

I'm fairly new to cars and I been having an issue with my shifter. The car is still drivable, but the shifter feel is very weird. If I push the shifter to the either side it shifts with ease, except when I try to shift into gears on the opposite side. For example if I start and move through gears 1-4, the shifter gives resistance when going into 5-6. If I am in gears 3-6, and I try to downshift to 1-2, the shifter gives resistance. I know that the shifter and linkage most likely needs to be lubricated, but I'm not sure of how to do that. Does anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks!
