Shifter problem

The shifter on my '04 S seems to be sticky when moving it from right to left and back - it moves fine front to back. Goes into and out of gears just fine, but when you move the shifter to the far right side in neutral (between 5th and 6th gears) it will stick there; the springs do not center the shifter when you let go of it.

Nothing grinds, it just feels like the bushings are gummed up. For example, the shift from 2nd to 3rd is smooth as the shifter moves forward out of 2nd, gets sticky when moving from left to right, and then goes smoothly into 3rd. Car has 95,000 miles -is this a sign the shifter just needs to be replaced? I would think it isn't a cable issue as the shifter moves forward and backward so smoothly. Thoughts?
