Sugar in the AT shifter

I put a cup of pop in the cup holder, and a couple drops got in to the shifter. it's dried out, but the suger is sticky in the shifter. when I select gear after a long time, it makes cracking sound.
anyone has any idea to solve this problem?
5.5th shifter.

thanks.

I can't see what you could possibly do aside from open it up and clean the parts...

get a hose and go crazy but be careful about the discombobulator, its right next to the blinker fluid reservoir.
