I recently posted on this. You need to get under the car and spray loads of WD40 on the gear linkage on the side of the gearbox and easily visable on drivers side I think. Drain/Level plug is on the other side. THe Linkage is VERY prone to corrosion especially when a car is left unmoved for a period.

Corrosion after a week is a bit poor!

It builds up and is a common problem normally highlighted after the car is left standing for a while...

Having suffered from WD40 use in the past - it's technically a water dispersant not a lubricant - so some marine/ agricultural waterproof grease or ptfe spray might be better http://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-ptfe...id=1999825 ... |

WD40 does work but I agree there are better lubricants. |
