Volvo V70 stiff gear lever / change

Volvo V70 stiff gear lever / change
In this video I try multiple things to improve the quality of my stiff gear change, the gearbox oil was replaced quite recently so I eliminated that and focused on the gear linkage. I’m pleased to say that the quality and feel of the gear shift has now improved due to hitting everything with lubricant!

How on earth did you manage to remove the air filter housing? I was struggling for solid 30 minutes before I gave up, there are about 4 of those clips where 3 of them are inaccessible, I didn't even manage to unclip the accessible one... Couldn't even find anything online.

my gear lever can rotate left and right about half a turn do you know what can cause this?
