Not a mechanic but I agree. Cable going bad in my experience.
Try greasing the exposed part of the rod where it slides through tube by the top inside of the transom. There man be some geese nipples there too to that you need to geese.
Sometimes if one never does this grease job doing it can fix the problem but if you are already greasing it is probably the cable.
Same with motor control cables. When they get hard to use, need new cables.
