I own a 97 Hona Civic Ex auto... The shifter all of a sudden seems to be getting stuck. This just started last night I had to use two hands to move it! Very strange! This morning it was a little hard to move but I could actually move it..It is doing this no matter what gear I am trying to put it in. What causes this problem? Any suggestions?

There is a shifter bushing that may be causing the problem. Remove the knob, boot and the plastic junk and see if you can see anything. You may have to remove the shifter. Let me know.
