Default Shifter squeak

Hey all, could use some help, advice or experience you might have had with an issue ive been having for a little over a week now.
So ive noticed that when i shift from 1st to 2nd, 2nd to 3rd, and a little on 3rd to 4th, that the shifter itself is squeaking. Not very loud, and not everytime, but enough that its annoying/worryful.

Anybody ever experience something like this before? For what its worth, I have an RSD snap shifter that's been in the car for about a year now.

When you installed it, did you torque it down to spec? My 1st guess...

Yep sure did, thank you though. Sometime this weekend im going to take it apart I think and see if anything stand outs as wrong. Just want to see if anyone knows what it could be, or if their shifter assemblies as a whole have had issues.

Probably just needs a little lube on the shaft in the shifter box.
