What to do if the gear lever is too stiff on Renault Trafic

Model: Renault Trafic MK 2 - Years 2001-2014
Part: Transmission

In this video, we can see how to remedy a potential issue that may arise with a Renault Trafic or one of its similar models, such as the Opel Vivaro or the Nissan Primastar. The YouTuber shows us the difficulties of the gear lever engaging the gear, and the problem should be sought within the engine compartment, where we find the bearing, which we see in the video and is that kind of little black button. It needs to be well lubricated, and this can improve the situation, but if it is worn out, it will need to be replaced because lubrication will only temporarily improve the situation.
