Might be time to change you gearbox oil.
When was it changed last and what oil is in it?

Change your gearbox oil to a GL4.
I can almost guarantee whoever changed it previously used a GL5 oil.
I'm using Nulon 75W90 and their Smooth Shift additive and the change has gone from balky to smooooooth as.
