My shifter would get stuck in between gears every once in a while when going from 1st to 2nd. I finally decided I needed to do something about it so I pulled the shifter and took it apart. You cannot believe how much crud was jammed up inside that thing. Took it all apart cleaned and regreased everything. Reinstalled and set the alignment. Haven't had anymore trouble since. Best of all it only cost me a day in the garage. Shifts like butter.
