It could just be that the shifter box needs lubrication. Its a common thing for the main ball joint in the shifter box to seize up a bit over time. Some white lithium grease will solve that.

Do you just remove the center console to access it?

Yes.




Inspect your shift cables. Make sure they're not worn, binding, or missing any parts.

Don't rule out the possibility of an internal issue.

Do not know if your car has seen road salt, check the cable linkage end at the transaxle. Bushing with a brass insert bonds to the steel linkage control mechanism on top of the transaxle, and causes shifting problems.
