I had the same.

Mine went unused for 5 months and it was like treacle.

I wipped off the gear stick cover and white greased the mechanism, then I also did the gear linkage adjustment (search on here for how to do this).

After both of those things, I finally resorted to changing the gearbox oil.

After another 200 miles with the new oil and it's finally back to normal. It needed some use and probably some heat along with the new oil, to grease up the gearbox insides.
