Shift Linkage? Lemon?

I had a strange problem the other day. I was driving a little spirited-ly and came to a stop. I had to make a left turn, so i was waiting for the car to pass by so i could proceed.

I then put the car in what i thought was first and the car stalled out, it was in 3rd. I started the car put it back into what i thought was 1st. I made sure i wasn't going to third, all the way left and up, same thing happened. I then took it out of gear, and shook it in neutral. I did notice it was getting stuck (sluggish) when i was moving it to the right in neutral. I then put it back in first and went on my way.

Has this happened to anyone before? It kinda scared the crap outta me. I hope its simple shift linkage problem.

I don't want to have to bring the car back to the dealer again. It has been in for the tranny twice in the last 9 months (1500 miles) I dont want to bring it in the 3rd, its starting to become a headache.

Thanks for all the help guys
