Hard to shift

Installed a short shifter today and am a little worried something went wrong. The shifts have become very hard, moving back to neutral isn't smooth.

Instructions followed to the letter. Shift cables marked and replaced at the exact same positions. Assembly went well.

I do have to say that the short throw is nice and that the shifts are very crisp. Just very hard. Any thoughts?

The shifter is basically the same, just modified to shorten the throw, which reduces your leverage, requiring more effort from you. Cold weather makes it harder still.
