Blast it with the almost unbelievably terrific "Fluid Film"!  The
lanolin-based lubricant is slippery, viscous and rubber-friendly all at the
same time.

Open up the shifter housing from your spare tire well and give it heck.

I've forgotten who initially recommended the stuff, but I've developed a
Jehovah's Witness-like zeal for the product. I'm ready to go around the
neighbourhood knocking on doors to convert people from that WWJD-40 stuff to
the real deal:  Sheep Oil!
