Auto gear selector getting harder to pull from park...
The truck parks on a slight hill, but not extreme. It has been getting more and more difficult to pull it out of Park. It's not a fight, but it has become noticeable.
Also, it seems to require being lifted higher to get it back into Park.
Is there an adjustment I should check and/or a place/cable I should clean or lubricate?
I put this in the generic forum as this shifter is common to all auto trucks. But in case it is needed, F250, 4x4, PSD auto, 180k miles, mostly stock.
Thanks in advance for advice...

I was going to suggest checking for loose bolts, and 88XLTLariat beat me to it, my suggestion is covered in the picture in post #1 of that thread..
Mine got stiff, but not hard to get into or out of park, just stiff through all ranges about a week before the shift cable decided it was time to break.. Cable replacement isn't that hard, but it is a pain working up under the dash....
I hope your bolts are loose!!!!!!!!
