more on the short shifter

Picked one up from smokinspg (thanks!) and installed it that evening. I love the throw, but it'll definitely take some getting used to.
Is this unit naturally stiff, or should I have greased something before the install? It takes a lot of effort moving it around in neutral, which was always easy with the stock unit. I'm replacing the trans mount with a poly I removed from my other 9k, because the mount in this car is shot. I suspect that'll help a bit. Overall, it's crisp, but not snappy. Doesn't seem right.
Also, there's less movement from rest to first or second compared to 5th/reverse, and I hear a metal-on-metal sound. I assume it's the selector rod hitting the end of its travel and running into the housing, and I can feel the concavity of the bearing if I hug left. Is this typical?
