OK, I just checked and it is definitely a stock shifter. Also, while jiggling the shifer, it seems like the stiffness is coming from the cable (or tranny I guess) itself. Do these cables go bad?

'If you experience a stiff shifter that lasts longer than 4 hours, a condition known as priapism, seek immediate medical help'...

I knew there was a comment in there somewhere - and you pulled it off. Or out.

I don't understand. I wouldn't think there would be any cable pull under side to side motion, just up and down motion through the gears. The cables are attached to the bottom end of the shifter via a ball and cup. You might want to see if there is some binding there.

There are two cables. One for North/South and the other for East/West. A lever on the side of the shifter is used for East/West. The Ball on the bottom is for North/South.
The B&M site has good step by step instructions for removal of the console and access to the shifter. Take her apart and lube her up.

Oh yes that's right, my memory is fuzzy and the Bently manual on my desk here didn't seem to provide much help. I agree LUBE HER UP!

OK, but is there a way to get grease down into the cable itself? Maybe try to spray some white lithium down into the cable end by the shifter and also "up" into the cable end by the tranny? Would changing the tranny fluid do any good? I've heard some people say that 60k should be the interval for tranny fluid and not 90k. Any thoughts?
