1996 Honda Accord: Solution needed for auto transmission shifter: Grinding sound

My 1996 Honda Accord EX 4 cyl with 114,000 miles and auto transmission is
running well. However, the gear shift makes a grinding sound when going from

How would I lubricate this area? Not much room to get in there.

Thanks.

yikes, first make sure you have enough transmission oil (check under
the hood)

thanks for the correction,
my cousin said he drove it and just herd a grinding noise then that was that
