Transmision fluid again

I know this has been covered ad-nauseum.
I purchased my 6-speed 2001 S w/ 95,000 miles in July. Not seeing a transmission fluid replacement in the service history, I decided to do it myself. I used the Porsche classic transmission fluid that Pelican sells. 3 cans until it dribbled out of the fill hole.
The fluid that came out was very clean, so I suspect that the previous owner had done the service themselves recently. Since I replaced the fluid, shifting has become significantly worse. The 986 hard 1st and 2nd gear engagement is present now where it previously was not. All gears take more force than previously and the engagement is notchy.

So, did I choose the wrong genuine Porsche transmission fluid?
