Pop the ball joints off the gearbox, give 'em a clean and some grease.

While the joints are off, give the gearknob a wiggle (should be pretty loose) and push/pull/lift/whatever the gear selector on the gearbox. On the 406 at least, the selector should click into position sweetly and without too much effort
