Definitely pull up the leather boot and shoot some lithium grease in the shift mechanism and see if that loosens it up.
If that doesn't work, you need to get under the car with the back end jacked up on stands and have a look at the shift cables to make sure they've not popped out of the clip that holds them in place. I have zip ties on both of my cables right at the tranny for this very problem.
As to the question on brass linkage, I've not seen that before so I can't comment on it. Maybe someone else can help you.
