Default Tough to Shift (Solved!)

I replaced my clutch and replaced my t56's transmission fluid with what I drained before dropping the tranny. Immediately afterwards, it was tough as hell to shift into every gear. I was thinking about disengagement issues and such, however just thought about maybe a little transmission fluid loss during the swap. Sure enough, today I added only about 1/8 of a quart to it, just until it started leaking out of the fill hole, and it shifts smooth as always. This is just an FYI to anybody else that runs into a tough shifting problem: check fluid level!
