Shifter cable may be binding. Cable replacement or removal, clean, and lube may be indicated. You could disconnect from trans and check that effort is still too high to confirm dragging cable.
Procedure is well described in Honda Shop Manual, but looks tedious requiring removal of Exhaust pipe B (converter section from manifold to rear).
good luck
