Saabina has a good suggestion, but before you get into it that deep, check these other things first:
- Pull up the shifter boot and verify that the three torx screws that hold the shifter into the shifter assembly are tight. Often these get loose and make shifting difficult.
- If those are tight, pull up the accordion piece in front of the shifter and look at the shift rod that comes out of the nose of the shifter assembly. As you move the shifter from side-to-side, the shift rod should rotate around its axis. If it moves from side-to-side, the rubber bushing that keeps the shifter rod in position has deteriorated and must be replaced. Post again and let us know if that's the case. Fixing this is a bit involved.
- If that's OK, then you need to jack up the car and look at the shift bushing.
Let us know what you find.
