Mac, the cables (at least on my boat) are called Morris cables. The cable consists of a outer housing and an inner core that transfers the motion from the shift cable to the transmission. The outer housing is usually clamped to something solid on both ends so that the inner core is free to move within the outer housing. If this cable goes around a sharp corner or is bent it will be hard to move. I have replaced my transmission cable about 15 years ago. The connection within the pedestal is a royal PITA! You have to remove the wheel, the compass, and the compass support collar (as I recall). Sounds like a job for a nice warm spring day--if one ever comes..
