Recently Ive found it slightly harder to change gear in my 1.2 8v MK1 Nova Saloon. It will change gear, just takes a little more effort sometimes. Its the four speed gearbox. What could be causing this?

Na not a hard job tbh. Hours labour perhaps...

Edit - I assume it's that, it could be the selector forks inside the gearbox...
