Tightness in shifting gear stick
« on: January 31, 2009, 08:33:58 AM »
Hi all,

I parked my car overnight.

Next day, when I start the car again, I had to apply a greater pressure to shift from P to R.

Then after that, even shifting from R->N, N->D, etc, the shifting is not as smooth as before, and it's quite tight to shift the gear stick.

However, after driving for 5 mins, it's back to normal. But the problem persist after I switch off the engine, and on again some hours later.

What could the cause be, and will it cause any damage to the gearbox?
