I have all new shift bushings....

About 6 weeks old...

My car was hard to shift at first... after a few weeks they were better

Today the temp was 45.

Hard to shift again. It has been 80-90 here everyday I drove this car since finished the build...

Is this normal? Cold plastic bushings at 45-50 degrees much harder than 80-90 degrees?

Hope nothing is wrong with car...

Let me know what you think.

bushings not lightly greased with white lithium, trans dope too heavy, not 80/90??? Trans rebuilt with syncro rings that are too pillowed.
Is the car grinding or just hard to get into gear?
