This is a thread I started in the another forum --- this is with respect to a tight tranny shifter...

http://theoildrop.server101.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=24;t=001667

I have sprayed silicone lubricant on the tranny arm that is connected to the cable and all associated moving parts in and around the arm -- there seems to be an immediate relief with the shifter getting easier but this is short lived -- after a couple of weeks it is back to the old, tight shifter.

Is there any specific lube that has to be applied to make the shifter less tight?
 
Sometimes this happens in my Tacoma and I grease the spline shaft comming out of the tranny. I don't know why this helps the lever move from park into drive but it does.
