sticky transmision????????

hey i have a auto max and today when i started the car ( already warmed up)
and started to go from P to R it took 2-3x more force than normal, like its stuck or stick or somethig, followed by a clunking sound then like shifting to N to D it was sticking too and required more force, and instead of the smooth gear to gear it was like it was clicking like.... R- click, click, click-N-click, click, click- D, .....it didnt make any clicking sounds but u can feel it while you try to shift it. any one else had this problem, is my tranny on its way out???

yeah, since it's been getting colder it's taking somewhat more effort to shift my auto and it does tend to bang 1-2 gear more often when it's cold.

My sister-in-law's maxima does the same thing. When i try to put it from P to any other gear u have to squeeze the living out of the shifter's button to make it move (btw, it doesn't make any clickin noises). It doesn't slip when driving it, it just has that problem when trying to change the gear. It only does it from P. Once you finally get it into a gear, it's easy to move it around. I have no idea what the heck could cause that problem.

He means when he pulls the shifter not when hes driving

Mine does it too sometimes where it will be really hard to get out of P and down to R or D. Its the shifter cable that gets caught sometimes...
