"Squirty stuff?" that's not mine. I would have written "********* pump", except it's a transmission not a chainsaw.
"shave the branches..." I'm sure I missed a "stuck in between teeth" allusion there somewhwere?
Maybe after it's been stroked firmly into gear a good wiggle woul help loosen it up??? Maybe the rubber seal is getting too old and needs to be replaced? Too much fluid on the inside causing the rubber to crack or stiffen?
Probably the best idea would be to take it out and have a good look at it? Sometimes the other knob (hidden) gets flat spots or burrs/bumps and that may cause stiffness and extra friction, expecially upon entry to every gear.
