Shifting problem

[ThunderChicken]

Today I noticed that when I tried to shift my VX frm Park to Drive it was a little hard. I don't know if I wasn't pressing hard enough on the brake for the button to release or what.

Anybody else ever had this problem?

I get this problem if I don't use my parking brake on a hill. Sometimes its real hard, so now my shutoff proccess consists of:
Pull into parking spot
put it in neutral
roll back an inch
pull parking brake
put it in park

This will save wear on your transmission by not parking the vehicle weight on it.
