In where?

Try spraying a liberal amount of WD40 into the shifters.
If that doesn't work the problem is most likely the cables and cable housings. The short housing found at the rear derailleur is often the culprit because it is subjected to more dirt and dirty spay from the road. Also it is critical to make the short housing the correct length resulting in good alignment where the cable enters the housing at both ends.
