Need help with an issue, I have in the past week noticed that the automatic gear shifter in my 2006 4.0L Mustang is getting stiffer and quite a bit of effort is required to move into any position. Sadly living in Ireland, not many garages would have ever worked on, or even seen a Mustang. Any help would be gratefully appreciated as to what the issue may be.
Thanks!

Probably shifting cable is binding or needs good oil in the cable sheath. Put the car on a rack and have it checked.
