What happens when you use lubricant on gears?
Usage of lubricants under improper conditions cause damage to gear teeth. When using gears at high speed / heavy load, or when using easily worn gears such as worm gearsor screw gears, care should be taken in selecting the right type of lubricant; quantity and methods. The proper selection of lubricant is especially important.
What to do when your car gears are hard to shift?
How to fix: Get the bushes replaced. Sometimes, you may also need to change the gear cable (in a cable shift mechanism) if the cable has become hard with age.

What causes a manual transmission to be hard to shift?
But if the hub sleeve were to get damaged or worn out, it would be difficult to shift the transmission. Gear oil, as opposed to transmission fluid for automatic transmissions, is what lubricates the gears of a manual gearbox. It is considered high viscosity (thick) since it has to put up with extreme heat.
Why is my bike not shifting to lower gear?
If not it’s probably the derailleur. If the cable pulls right out of the bike, the cable is broken. Next, shift to the lowest gear you can, stop the rear wheel, and pull quite hard on the cable. With thumbshifters and twist grips, pull hard enough so that the gear lever moves to the highest gear.
