Grease in the shifter get sticky after several years. A liberal bath by spraying WD-40 up in the shifters, while moving the handles, should clean most of it out. Let it flow out, then spray with Teflon lube. For other easy repairs, YouTube might save you quite a few dollars because a lot of things are fairly simple if you know what to do.
