I had exact same problem on a completely different car. Hard to put into first or reverse - was worse if it below 60 outside. Brought it to dealer - they readjusted the linkage, billed warranty for 0.8 hour labor. Later it started acting up again a little , dealer changed the shifter (for a different issue) and it was great since.
