Default Trans rebuilt, now harder to shift

I had a local shop rebuild my trans with a Tick Stage 2 kit. 2nd and 3rd gear were replaced.

The car was apart for about 4 months so that may be part of it. I don't remember it being this tough to shift. I can't shift nearly as fast I remember.

Is this normal? Would the anti venom mod help?

Thanks.

A fresh rebuild with billet shift keys installed typically are notchier for the first several miles. Give it a few weeks of easy driving, double check the fluid level and make sure the clutch is adjusted right. Once thats done, it should loosen up some.
