Default what goes?

I installed a Pro 5.0 shifter and changed the fluid out to Royal Purple ATF. My shifter feels real tight going into third and fourth gears. I can feel the scynchro sliding in an then the gear catching. Its also kind tough getting into the other gears.

I dont know about the pro 5.0 but some of the aftermarket shifters have adjustable stops on them. If yours has them try adjusting them it just might not be letting it get all the way into gear before it hits the stop. That's all I can think of
