If it feels the same, try reaching down the back of the engine and hitting the linkages with some spray grease and working it in. This will work better if you can do it from underneath and this'll let you do the bottom of the gear lever as well.
Does it jump out of gear at all? Have you checked the gearbox oil level?

It's a bit of a pain to get to normally with it being stuck behind the engine. You can see why they went to cable with the 207.
