Hello Nairalanders,
I noticed recently that my gear stick has become slightly stiff and not as smooth as it use to be when changing gears. The gear is automatic. what can be the issue and how can I fix it pls? my mechanic does not seem to understand it.
thanks in advance for your valued and experienced suggestions.

Does your vehicle have a brand name and model? A model year would help too.

Siena:
I presume you mean moving the shift lever between the gears is stiffer than it used to be, but the actual automatic gear changes are normal?

Hello Mr. Sienna, please i have been trying to get your attention. Please can it use a single tipped platinum spark plug for a 2000 Toyota Sienna. 3.0Litre, V6 engine. The manual states PK20TR11, double platinum spark plugs. They are not available and i stay in Abuja. I use copper double tipped denso plugs. That's what is available here.

First of all, check the cable that goes from the shift lever to the transmission. ask your mech to find a way to lubricate it. if the situation improves, then you shld change that cable.
