Shifter question

When I step on the brake to put my truck into D or R sometimes the shifter won't go and I have to monkey with it, step off then back on the brake and keep releasing/ pulling back on the shifter until it comes out of P. Anyone else have this happen? And it happens on level ground, maybe linkage bind? Any suggestions? More of an aggrivation really, maybe just needs lubed somewhere? TIA- Tim

How much is one of them, and is it difficult to install or can someone mechanically inclined do it? I'd like to do as much as I can to my truck but if it's better left to a professional I'm not too proud to let them instead of getting in over my head.
