It's normal to require more force to change gears after a short shifter install (less lever arm means more force required). You shouldn't have problems keeping it in gear or grinding though.

i don't have those problems... just seems hard to engage... when i had the shifter in my other cars it was very smooth, just seems odd... maybe more lube?

do you feel as if it vibrates more than the stock ?

how much would you give it out of 10 !?
