A small amout of tranny lube is added to the shifter housing. Over time it ends up looking like what you have. Remove what you can, clean everything you can get to, and add an ounce or 2 of tranny fluid before reinstalling your shifter.

While your in there, check the shifter bushings.

Marking the drive shaft makes sure it is not reinstalled in a differnt position. Otherwise you may get vibrations.
