This thing is like a work out, should my shoulder be sore after driving to the store? Seriously

It has everything to do with it, just ask your woman she obviously thought so.

You get use to it and it loosens up over time. If not sythetic tranny fluid might help for more fluid throws.

My wife has never complained about my Stillen being hard to shift and she only weighs 105 pounds.

You may want to add some Redline Oil to your tranny, it makes it shift very easy!

i find my pacesetter sts a tad hard to shift at the moment. But i'm sure it'll loosen up with time. or... wasn't there a bolt you could loosen that would loosen the shifting also? i read it somewhere...
