My shifter is getting harder to shift into gears lately. It feels like the oil has thickened. Is there any grease fitting for the shifters?
It's a stock 05.

You read my 'deviant' mind, Les!~!~!~!
~juliWe've always used the MGW shift KNOBS (*guffaw*)...on the '05 and the '08...but that doesn't address your 'handle', Andrew~~~

Getting a handle on something is why your knob is sticky

Actually this is a good question. Drove the wife's 01 GTS yesterday and it was the same way. Got a little better as it warmed up, but know where near as easy to shift as my 95. I even put the synthetic in it over the summer thinking it would help.
Any ideas would be great.

The wallpaper visual is not good on this one.
Shifting in another direction...I don't have clue to cure the sticky problem.
Maybe a viper tech will have some.

And I just had it in for new rubber but I thought my wife was being a wus so I didn't mention it.
Besides, I wouldn't want to go though this kind of ribbing at the dealership.

I would definitely see your Dr.about this!
Seriously though, have you been even a little ******* it shifting wise? If so the stock shifter could be what is balking the shifts. I would try the MGW shifter it may help considerably, and at the same time you will be able to inspect the stock one when you remove it. If you have not, then does it get better or worse as it warms up? You could have a slightly bent shift rod, (runs the length of the trans from shifter to front). If this is even a little off it will cause dragging and will change with temperature (expansion and contraction not fluids). If so it will need repair/replacement to remedy.
