Well - start off with an oil change ! drain off the old and refill with 20W50 engine oil. ASDA stuff will be fine. If that doesn't help then it's down to general wear and tear on the various bearings - mostly the 'lay gear' bearings and shaft. Untill it starts jumping out of gear - don't worry about it! But you can of course pull it out and renovate it - if you have the time and skills.
