B&M sport shifter

so I installed the guy today. Decent install even though there is a TON of things you need to figure out on your own... horrible instructions. anyhow, i put it all back together and it seems to work fine with one problem. 1st gear is tough to find. Before, when I would have it in nutral i could push the stick right to left. Now it goes right the same but left is tight and super short. If you guys are going to need pictures I guess I can go rip it apart and figure it out for ya.

Give it a week, it might just need to be broken in. If it's still really tight and problematic, open it up and regrease everything.

I drove it more last night and it seemed a little better. man can you fly through gears! I just was wondering because there is not really any left play, but I can push it all the way right when in nutral.

I just took off the center console, looked down at the shifter as I went through gears. I could see that the shifter linkage was smacking against the base of the shifter housing, I took a dremmel down there and sanded off the part it was hitting.... now its smooth as silk baby! no problems!

$150 from a local store. 150$ is the price for the B&M that I found.
