I'm noticing it's getting very difficult to change from park to reverse, and vise-versa. Not the actual car gearing it's self, but the physical lever, it is very hard to move sometimes.

Any ideas?

I am taking it to the shop today, just wanted to get an idea before I go in with nothing.

Thanks

 

Excessive friction through any shifting could be the shift cable rusting inside it's sheath. I've heard of that occasionally.

Friction and/or misalignment of the shift lever. Take apart the console & see what you can determine.

Or... if it's only coming out of PARK, then maybe something flaky with the brake/shift interlock.

 

Well when you take it OUT of park, and put it INTO park, it seems to be when it get's funky... But maybe... 2 out of 10 times, it will work fine. But it is still a problem, I assuming I my cousin is just going to either clean something or replace it, either is fine. As long as my Tranmission doesn't asplode.

 

If you spill something sticky on the shifter it will do that also as the plastic with the gear range indicator gets stuck to the surrounding parts.
