Vauxhall Combo gear selector stiff

Car: Vauxhall Combo
Variant: 1.3 cdt
Model Year: 2015
Categories: Gearbox & Clutch
The gear lever does not freely go to the middle when rocked left to right while in neutral . It is becoming more difficult to select the 3rd gear when driving. No nasty noises and comes out of gear easily . Finding 1st and 2nd no problem 3rd to 4th no problem 2nd to 3rd can be more diificult . Seems to better when cold

Either gear shift cables or selector mechanism , or both are common faults
