Igor- in addition to cleaning and lubing all the joints, I've even removed the circlip that holds the shift lever and packed the area with grease. 
Also noticed that there seemed to be some slop. 
Might see if adding a washer on the shaft helps.
Seems as though I remember that Jeff or Jeremy talked of drilling out the shifter and adding a bushing over the shaft to remove the excess play.
Let us know what works.

Then shift linkage from the toe shift back to the engine connection gets
gummed up with road crud and you'll need to periodically give it a good
cleaning and re-oil the joints. Mine does the same thing, I just spray
it with WD40 every couple of months.
