Help me identify this shifter

I don't think that it is your shifter that is the problem. I think it is your fluid. When is the last time you changed your transmission fluid? Does it get easier when it warms up a little bit? I had the same issue when it got cold with my S13. Now, I know it is not the same car, but I put a SLIGHTLY thinner fluid in there and it got easier. It did not go away 100%, but it helped a lot.

Yeah, you are partly right. I recently acquired the car, so I have no idea what's in there or when it was changed last. On my last Maxima, I had redline in there and it did make a world of difference, but when I changed back to the stock shifter I couldn't believe how much easier the shifting was. So I am planning to take your advice, but I was hoping to attack it from both ends. I know some STS's are adjustable, and backing the short throw off a little might help as well.

I don't have that silver piece holding the ball pivot in place. Is that a 99-only feature? Or is that in fact an aftermarket shift kit?
I think it's a stillen shifter.
