FWIW on the TKO 600 , they are very stiff at first . That combined with your cold weather is probably the reason for the hard shifting . The TKO guys told me to break the gearbox in fairly easy with progressively more throttle and higher revs for the first 500 miles .... no WOT . Did that and mine shifts as well as my toploader .
I noticed in the pictures that your shift boot has the top ( small end ) extended . Push that down so its inside the boot and that will take the strain off the shift boot . I probably didn`t put that very well , but there are pictures around somewhere , just can`t find them now .

Thanks Bob - actually I have a toploader. Took a ride a couple blocks down to the corner gas station to put a few gallons in the tank and I think 3rd is getting better with use. Didn't have any problems today. Still getting used to the shifter a little - manage to almost make a couple 3rd gear starts - almost.
