[Shotimes] Creaky Shifter

[Donald Mallinson]

This is common with the rod shifter.  The shift mechanism 
rides on rails that are open to the elements.  As the motor 
moves, the shifter has to move because the two are linked 
solidly by a rod between them.

Spray some WD40 on the area to clean it, then spray it with 
some lubricant like motorcycle chain lube that will stick to 
it for a while.  You will need to do this about once every 
year to really keep it quiet.
