More WD40. Happens to me after any serious mud run. That's why I keep a can in the truck.

ditto.

the linkage on those things sucks.



if you have a removable hump, lift it up and rebuild your linkage

Yeah, but it's really not so much of a rebuild as it is a clean-up and possibly adjust. They are rather complex for a simple thing.
Just removing, disassembling, cleaning (mud and caked grease), re-lube and assemble.

It's not a big deal, less than an hour......but, if you intend to use it frequently, it makes sense to look into a "twin-stick" conversion. About half way down the page of this link. http://www.offroaddesign.com/catalog...seshifters.htm

Or just spray a healthy dose of WD40 down the shifter boot and go on about your business.
