Improving Shifter Feel

Hello everyone!

I've been looking for the past week on how exactly I can improve the shifter feel with this transmission. As some of u may know I have had my trans replaced under warranty just under 1000 miles ago. This is a brand new transmission and I'm still getting the typical super notchy 2nd and 3rd gear shifts not including the grinding feel that makes you cringe in 2nd and 4th.

I've looked around the forum and have considered the following to improve the feel of shifting;

Whiteline positive shift kit?
Rear shifter bushing? - I have a perrin one that I never installed.
Shifter assembly? - TRD/Kartboy
Transmission bushing?

I had motul gear 300 fluid in my last transmission and started having trans problem not even 4000 miles later resulting into getting a whole new trans. I am not blaming it on the motul but I did hear an increase in the TOB rattle with this fluid as well as becoming harder to shift when the trans is cold.

Any tips/tricks/ advice other people have when tackling the shifting feel?
