shifter is.. hard to move...

[Wobble]

all the sudden, moving my shifter up and won (3rd to 4th, 2nd to 3rd.. etc) is like.. im pushing it though play doh,, or something, happened all the sudden..

I disconnected the cables and shafted the trans by hand and all feels well, so its something in the cable (up and down) not the trans.. any ideas???

Have you tried adjusting the cable?

well, no this was SUDDEN, like the car was shifting normal, then suddenly.. it was all.. gooy.. like harder to move foreward and back, not notchy.. just like i was shifting through mud.... ???

have you checked your cables for damage? Does anything look bent at the tranny (like the bracket with two bolts that holds the cables)? Have you taken a look under the shift cover inside the car?

Check the cotter pins at the transmission, on the cable ends. And:

Well i fixed it, it turns out the cable itself was kinked somehow (missed shift i guess) and was rubbing inside the plastic sleave, i straightened it out (harder than sounds) and now ts good.
