How do I fix a stuck shifter in my Ford Focus?

I recently noticed that my shifter in my Ford Focus is stuck and it's becoming more difficult to shift gears. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

First, make sure your car is completely stopped and the parking brake is engaged. Check for any obstructions such as debris or loose objects in the shifter mechanism. If everything looks clear, then it could be an issue with the shifter cable or linkage. It's best to take your car to a certified mechanic for an inspection and repair.

Another possible cause for a stuck shifter could be a low or empty transmission fluid. It's important to regularly check your transmission fluid levels and top off when necessary. If the fluid is low, it could be a sign of a leak. Again, it's best to have a mechanic check it out.
