    You could throw some grease in there for free and see if it improves. Gunk is a problem...

    Grease won't help remove gunk (actually, it will attract more). I second a trial of solvent. What you might could do at home if you don't want to try disassembling anything, is to hang a pan underneath the shifter and flush it with WD-40. (As always when working with solvents, wear nitrile gloves and make sure there's plenty of ventilation.) Possibly worth a try anyway.
