Default Crunchy shifter when its raining

My shifter starting to feel weird. harder to put in gear and has a crunchy feel to it when it rains. Anyone ever have this issue and what was the cause thanks in advance.

i have had the same prob with my teg also in the rain. so has a lot of other people. i think it is just the bushings, etc. on the bottom side of the shifter getting saturated. dont worry about it!!! common problem

Do you have an aftermarket shifter?

I never had the problem with my stock shifter, but when I changed it out I started having trouble putting it into gear when it rained.

The water may be getting past the rubber and effecting the properties of the grease.
