Gear Selector Fault

2747 has suddenly developed a stiff Gear selector !
Have removed top plate and pushed shaft down centrally it runs as free as as before - so it appears the lever is trying to operate it out of alignment causing the resistance ? Will swap over with a spare unit and investigate any worn bearings etc. nothing about it's operation and lubrication in the Walker manual or LT predecessor unless I've missed it. - any theories duly welcomed - thanks - Graham.

My bus number (if any): RML 2747 & Gash DD6
