Default shifter hard to move

Hello to everyone! Can someone shed some light on why my 95 blazer is so hard to get from park to drive? Literally have to pull on column stick with both hands. And it wont go fully into park. About to put my fist through the dashboard.

Got my fingers crossed.

Maybe there is trouble with the linkage. Something must be binding the cable.

Disconnect the linkage to the tranny. It is located on the drivers side along the tranny pan. Then try to shift it. (Key on engine off.) Hopefully it'll be somewheres between the shifter and the end of the shift cable. Not in the tranny itself.

Cable was bent between two brackets. Thanks for the info. All your help was great!
