Shifter Is Sticking

YO whats going on,
So it was a bit colder here this morning in NC and i noticed while trying to shift my stick from PARK to Drive all the gears kinda stuck. It would do it when it was a little warmer out but now its getting colder and its sticking more. Any solutions? thanks

Can you give a little better description on "stuck"? How cold are we talking? Are you turning on the car then IMMEDIATELY shifting or letting it warm up a little first?

It was only about 45 degrees F. While shifting its almost like shifting through a gummy substance. I let the car war up for aproxx. 30 secs. So should i let it warm up more or some how grease the shifter mechanism.
