Spilled Soda + Car = Oh Noes...

I spilled a soda in my car, directly on my gear selector (automatic transmission). I mopped up the spill with a napkin, but now, the selector moves very stiffly. It seems to get better as the car warms up, but is back to square one when I get back into the car after a small amount of time. After researching the internets, the only suggestions I have found are:
1. Try to remove the center console and try to clean it out.
2. Take it to a mechanic and have them clean it out.
3. Put rubbing alcohol in a spray bottle, spray it on the gear selector, and run it through the gears to let the alcohol eat the dried sugar.
Anyone have a similar experience and can provide advice on this? I don't want to fuck up my console, but I don't want to pay someone to do something I can do at home.
