   I have a 1981 Honda Civic 1300 with a 5-Speed Transmission with ~50,000
miles on it.  Although I have very little trouble with the car, the car's
gear shifter has recently become hard to shift.  Side-to-side movement
in nuetral is somewhat stiff and putting the car into gear ( up-down )
is VERY stiff and noisy ( squeeks ).

   I have removed the shifter's boot and put grease on the top
half of the shifting ball, but shifting is still stiff. I changed
the oil in the transmission ( 10W40 )  but it didn't improve.

   I really am at a loss at what I should try next. Any ideas?

   Thanks In Advance,
