The short answer to your question is no.

However, to get the long answer, go to the C-320 association web site and sign up for the list serve. Most of theh technical discussion on the C-320s takes place on that list. That exact question has been asked and answered in detail.SteveAlchemist C-320 #909

Is it the cable?

If you have an Edson pedistal with the throttle, it could be the bushing at the lever. My trans and throttle were very stiff and was told by the shipyard to disconnect the cable from the lever to determine if the cable was the problem or the bushing. When disconnected, if the cable is still stiff, that's the problem, if not then the lever will still be stiff and it would be the bushing. Try this unless you already know.
