You change the oil, but you probably need to clean and lube the linkage. I did this on mine (was having the same problem) and shifting is smooth again. Worst case scenario is that the throwout bearing is starting to go but my money is on mucked up linkage. They all sit below the airbox and any mechanic should be able to clean it up for you.
