Hello, it's me again. I've got a 93 Maxima and I'm slowly narrowing down that electrical issue (work and family and all that), but now there's a new problem. Over the past week, the shifter became hard to move. Last night, it became so stiff that I had to pull extremely hard on it to get it to move and then the transmission would only shift into park an neutral. After a little while it was stuck in park and the release button wouldn't even go in all the way. After about an hour, I managed to get it out of park and drove it home.

My first thought is something with the linkage. I will be able to check it in a bit, but haven't yet.

Has anyone ever come across something like this?

Also, is there anything tricky with the linkage that I should beware of?
