  • If your gear stick on your manual geared car or van (this is on a 2007 Ford Transit) is really stiff to change gear or hard to shift then it's probably not the gearbox, but just the gear linkage. Watch this video to show you how to fix it yourself in 30 seconds with some WD40 Spray Grease. Super easy.

      Definitely the first thing to check if you've got stiff gears. Also lift the gear stick gaiter up and spray round there...

      Lithium grease as it'll last longer, but ideally penetrating oil like WD40 first if it's seized. But basically anything!
