It was a little easier than it is now but not much. The swap wasn't very tough. I can disassemble everything and make sure all the parts are in correctly. I will Probably change the fluid to make sure nothing bad is going on in there while i'm at it. I appreciate the replies.

A short throw shifter is essentially changing the pivot point on the shifter which gives you less leverage. I have not run one, but I would fully expect it to shift a little harder but you shouldn't have to "hunt" for gears. It could expose a previously existing issue maybe...
