I have identical issue it would appear.

Shifting got a little better because PO didnt used alignment tool, but still having issues. Doesnt like going into 3rd cold, and takes until the car is warm to self center when in neutral.
I am hesitant to cut up any stock parts and would prefer solving it with new fresh parts if that is the proper solution.

cheers
All I can say is 2nd and 3rd are a little clumsy for me too until things are warmed up. It's ok but not great after that. I installed a Numeric Racing shifter and it's still that way. Better than it was, but I'm still not 100% happy with it. I am going to install their cables next.

I think I am just spoiled because my past manual cars were the Mazda RX8 and Honda S2000. My 2004 RX8 was shifting perfection. They really nailed it. Everything since has felt lacking.
