I did a search and found quite a bit on replacing the ignition electrical switch, but not on replacing the whole ignition (part that looks like a gun). Lately when I go to start the car the ignition is pretty stiff to turn. It always starts but needs more pressure than normal. Is this the ignition shaft or the electrical part that needs replacing? Is there anything I can do to "fix" this issue or should I simply replace the gun and electrical switch.

Thanks for any thoughts.
