This will probably not be of any help, but there are 3 u-joints in the shifter shaft between the shift arm and the transaxle. If one comes a little loose, it can slip out of place and make the shifter feel "heavy" and not engage properly. Then when it slips back into place, everything feels OK again.
Make sure the car is shifting OK, then tighten them. The first one is inside the cockpit, inside the center tunnel. Pop out your ash tray and you will be able to tighten it through the hole. The second one is inside the engine compartment, on the driver's side, under the headers, right before the support bearing. The last one is where the shift rod goes into the shifter box on top of the back of the ZF transaxle.
If you get lucky, one of these is loose and allowing movement in the shift rod.
Good luck.
