Stiff shifter when hot?!

Hey there guys, I've had this B&M shifter in for a while now and for the last couple of months I've noticed it gets stiff when the car heats up. I have a 45 min drive in rushhour traffic and it gets stiff by the time I get home. It only does it if I stay in 2 or 4th gear. What cha think, mabe heat shield touching it?

I've had mine in for nearly 4 months, and I haven't noticed anything... Do you have the Kartboy bushings too, or still stock?

No, they're still stock.

Maybe that's contributing to the problem??? Dunno... I do know mine isn't 'fully' installed, I need to pound it in a little further, but everything is connecting properly underneath and the shifts are fine.
