Pull it and diagnose the problem first

By stiff do you mean its hard to run through the gears or its hard to disengage it with the button to get it out of park or reverse?

ok so i need the laymans version of throttle rod adjustment...i had to fab the bracket but at some point a webber was put on my bird and the linkage has been altered if i pull the rod all the way forward should the roller part of the bracket be adjusted to the frount stop or back stop and should i put a spring on to bring it to rest in the forward position?

thankyou yes i saw that write up i guess i just had to read it acouple times i'll try it in the am.  any idea if the is a supplier for wheel hubs not sure if i can get everything apart with out damage.  the guy at the ammco shop said if the shifter is stiff it will affect the shifting?  i'm also looking for a replacement tranny pan i'm going to drop the pan and change filter and see if i can adjust bans while its open.....can i replace the seal on the throttle rod while it open or is that done from the outside?  i love this site by the way.
