The first think I would check would be the linkage. It probably has some wear in it. I imagine there are some bushings in it at the steering column and the levers on the side of the transmission. It could also need adjustment. I would try these before I went into the transmission.

Page 11-11 of the shop manual specifies SAE 80 Multi-Purpose Gear Lubricant, but if you're in one of the warmer parts of the world, 90 or one of the multi-viscosity gear lubricants should work satisfactorily, as long as it doesn't produce hard shifts. The transmission should hold an approx. total of 2-1/2 pints.
