after my 2014 es350 sits for a couple hours the shifter feels scratchy and makes a plastic scraping kind of noise on the first movement or two. My moms 99 camry had the same thing for years. Dealer cannot replicate. It is there every day. I hate it. I have tried searching this site and google, perhaps i am not describing it correctly. I had a similar noise on my mazda after i had put in a short shift kit. Maybe there is not enough grease in a bushing. Maybe it is just the plastic slides/doors scraping on top of each other at the base of the shifter. Anyone else experience this and what did you do to fix it. Thanks!

No issues with either of my ES.
