The operating handle for the backgear on the top of my AUD has suddenly gone very stiff, making it difficult to engage backgear.

Has anyone any experience of this and can anyone give me a clue as to what the problem might be?

Foreign body trapped in mechanism? Or lubrication?

As NDIY says probably lack of lube. I never use my back gear now with the VFD but still give it a spot of oil now and then just in case. I always found when I did use it that a little twist of the chuck helped the engagement. I am sure you are aware that there are 2 oil points, 1. the hole above the back gear lever & 2. the oiler in the centre of the shaft in the housing.
