The easiest thing to try is to always do a shifter alignment. If it still doesn't work after that, you need to pull the tranny and have it repaired which will involve lots of $

First, it's definitely NOT your transmission! Remove the shifter console and check your shifter/shifter bushings/shifter linkage. Post your findings please.
