stiff gear shift

Hi mate,
I'd say more than likely the wrong grade of oil, especially if it is worse when cold.

defenently a oil problem

Along the same lines as your gear shift dilemma is a drama I had with my Hi-Lo range shift.... under the car on the transfer case is a rubber boot over a knuckle joint.... the joint on mine got considerably gunked up from being wet and made the shift hard to move..... I now keep in lubed!

Cheers

could be dirt that has got in through the protective boots which might have perished.
