Just installed NST SSK on the girlfriend's '09, now its hard to shift

[Astroman]

Wow, what a easy tool less mod! I've been wanting to do the SSK mod for a while, but finally found a good deal and got one for the girl's car.

Install went well (Thanks Andy @ subcompactculture.com for the great guide), throws are MUCH shorter now, I like it. But, it's tough getting it to go into 1st or 2nd gear, the rest seem OK. I think the car was in 1st gear when I did the install. Feels kinda like it's binding a bit.

Does this wear off? Or did I do something wrong? Seems pretty straightforward, and I followed Andy's guide.

Note: The SSK I purchased from another member must be a newer one from NST, as it already had the adjustment so no filing needed to fit the '09.
