Have your friendly Chevrolet service department drain & fill your tranny with Synchromesh, under warranty, assuming it really is "stiff". For warranty, it's gotta be really hard to get into gear. I've noticed with the cooler temps, my shifter is a little bit harder.......now if they could only bottle it!!!!!!

A stock shifter being stiff, you don't hear of that too often, usually people complain they are soft and mushy. :confused: Maybe your onto something there! :D :thumbs: :cheers:
