Did you make sure to grease everything up properly? Mine was stiff after I first installed it, I decided to take it apart, re-grease it (being quite generous with my application of grease this time) and it got much better.

That could also be it, I didn't tighten the bolts as much when I re-did my installation.

Yea sort of. Go for a drive with the center console still off to check how it is, that way you can easily adjust without having to rip everything out again. It also gives you that race car feel for the duration of the drive
