Pull the rear cap on the drive and have a look at the shift detent, and the shift linkage in the drive. Often the lack of lube will cause wear and result in hard shifting. Would assume you checked the shifter and new cable operation before reconnecting to the drive to make sure all was ok there. Sounds like the detent to me, lack of lube and possibly worn.
