Default Hard to shift after it rained.

Hey guys,

So the last couple of days it been raining kinda hard here in cupertino. And this morning when i went driving, it was really hard to shift into 3rd and 4th I really have to pull on it to shift into 4th and it feels like its not going all the way in( shifter goes back only a little from neutral position). Do you know what this could be?

ps. I also have difficult time shifting into reverse sometimes.

Thanks
lenny

make sure nothing is blocking the linkage.
look under the hood on the passengerside on top of the tranny little circle things with cables around them?
Droopy intake? dead cat or snake?

It is kinda cold if guess for bay area weather haha. But this keeps happening even after i drive for a while and the car is warmed up.

But ill go under the hood later and check everything, thanks

Spray the shifter pivot ball with some grease or wd40.

THis should be your issue, it was just covered less than a week ago...

Search.

yeah i did read it a couple of days go, but this seems to be a problem from the out side because it did not do it before it rained to I did not think it is from the inside of the car but Ill check it also.

Thanks
