Most likely you have one of the opening gears failing on the slow side, which is causing drag and more friction. When those plastic / nylon gears fail, they cram up the gearbox mechanism with plastic dust / powder which gums up the works also before complete failure.

I haven't seen your car in person so I could be wrong, but this is a likely cause.

Replacement plastic gears are cheap.
Brass gears will last forever but much more expensive.
Job is a little complicated for a novice mechanic with not many tools.
I did the brass gears on my first car.
When the car I have now needs them I will just replace them with the plastic gears.
I figure the first pair lasted 25 years.
