Shift linkage is "stiff" shifting period. Even in neutral pushing left to right to left, the movement is not fluid as it should be.

Can't get into 2nd, 4th or Reverse. Issue started w/o warning. It was fine, then it wasn't. I had to limp it home in 1st.

start by checking the linages for damage/wear .. also chek the shifter/gearstick gate !
