It could be the gear linkage that's stiff. Try giving it a spray with the good old dw40 and see how that goes first. If that fails then post back  :smiley:

I agree with Wayne.......the auto adjuster in the cable seizes with age! and only a new cable can fix it

In that case you might have a clutch problem
