Default 1998 ES300 Shift Cable TIGHT

Car was sitting for a few months. After I repaired everything I noticed the shift cable was tight when going from P to D/R and back to P. It's gotten a little bit better since I've been driving the car. My question is, is their a lubrication point that anybody knows of?

The shifter in the car has lubrication points (grease) but generally they don't need attention. Can try the process of elimination disconnect the cable on the transmission see if the shifter moves easily. If not either the cable is stiff or the shifter mechanism in the car.
