Check your oil level condition, you need to run the car to temp- drive it, park, pop the hood- leave it running in nuetral and pull the dipstick.........the oil should be pink and transparant if its not or is low, you will have to do a flush and change.
This is time consuming as to do it properly you will need to drain and fill it a few times.
This should be the first thing you check, then the linkage as mentioned, make sure the linkage is free to move- lubricated and not bent up or fouled in its movement range.
Let us know what you do and how you get on please.
