Some short shifters can mess up your trans as well.
Take out the shifter and check it. Also if you didnt bolt it on right that could have messed it up. The far two bolts are usually hard to bolt on (240)

Neural adaptation.

Once you stopped paying attention and got used to the shifter, it doesn't feel as special anymore. Think it really has changed? Have someone with the same shifter measure their throw and then measure yours.

Once you have it for a day you get used to it

Thats when you cut the shifter and drill out the knob to go down more, and again. Till you realize its as low as it can get

If it came with a bushing on the pivot ball, then I'd be willing to bet it got too hot and melted. You should have had the OEM bushing installed. They are like $4 from Nissan.

Your brain likes to trick you. True story.

Measure it. That's the only way to prove something is wrong. Empirical evidence is your friend.

Replace that crap plastic bushing with a metal one then you won't have to worry about it, also I have had the same feeling when I first installed the shifter on my car. It was super short then kind of got longer but still better than stock shifting, go a head and put the stock one back in and then you'll notice the difference.
