What's wrong with stiff shifter? My girlfriend loves mine. :Word:
Anyway...haha
Stiff as in how? In my car with the cold weather and if it has been sitting for a few days, the transmission fluid causes a stiff feeling in the shifter. I doubt the weather in Florida is cold though. Did you check your fluid level in the trans?

There is a fill plug and a drain plug on the curb side of the transmission. It takes a 3/8 square drive to remove it (i.e. 3/8 ratchet w/ short extension w/o a socket). Loosen the fill plug, if fluid is at the bottom of the hole, you are fine. If not, add some.
If the car isn't level it will throw off the reading. So try to jack the front and the rear up so it's even.
