It sounds like the sleeve or gear lockout mechanism is sticking but there could be a couple of reasons. Since it works when you do it manually I'd lean toward gummed up or a weak spring. I would start with JT120's suggestion of checking the motion to make sure that it feels smooth and nothing catches. If the oil is too thick or the mechanicals have gummed up, then a drain & refill with the proper weight oil might work but it also might need to be cleaned a bit more thoroughly.
