Default Poly shift linkage installed - shifting is now a workout.

I recently installed my Fastline shifter....super awesome btw...and also installed poly mounts at the same time. The action is super smooth, and very precise, but it also feels like I'm shifting through cold molasses. I put some lube in there that was provided but I'm wondering if there is anything besides time that will loosen up the poly bushing at all?

You tighten the nut at the shifter too tight! I had that problem. I have the FLP shifter too. Just loosen it up a bit.
