Why would gear selector be hard to Move from one gear to another?

The selector has become very difficult to move from park into any of the other gears. Seems to have gotten worse on colder days. I did try to lubricate the cable and it seemed to help a bit. Now it is back to moving hard again. Transmisson itself shifts fine when driving, just hard to move selector.
Do you
have the same problem?

I would disconect the cable @ the transmission and see if the transmission shift lever moves free. @ Th same time try moving the lever in the car. The one that's hard too be is the problem.
