If you're not in the habit of using the parking brake, that's probably the cause of some bending deep in the innards of the transmission. If that's the case you can put off rebuild day by getting into the habit of setting the parking brake before shifting into Park, and releasing it again only after shifting out of Park.
If that's not the case you'll have to hunt for the source of the binding. Try disconnecting the linkage at the transmission end and (with engine off, park brake on, wheels chocked, etc.) moving things by hand. In the typical case, though, shift linkage gets looser rather than tighter over time.

I typically apply the parking brake and i know everything inside the tranny is in good shape because i've recently gone through it. That's what led me to believe there is something like an external linkage that needs to be greased. I've only had fords before this and i've never run into this problem before so im still trying to learn about dodges.
