Take a good look at your linkage. I had mine get a real wierd feeling
on the way to a cruise-in and limped it back home when it was over. It wasn't hard to shift but felt very loose like the next shift wasn't going to happen. When I pulled the cover off the tunnel, I could see that one of
the two bolts holding the shift lever to the linkage had backed completely out
and the other was a little loose - no wonder there was so much play! I
put nuts on the other side to lock the bolts in place, no more problems.
Point is, check it out, there is a reason for the difficult shifting - something
loose, out of alignment, or in need of some lubrication. Good luck.
