getrag shift feel?

Hey guys-
changed the oil in the 5-speed this last weekend (used synthetic 5w-30) added extra quart as recommended. Haven't had much of a chance to drive it since then-but what little I have I noticed the shifter seems to grab/catch in 3rd & 4th when shifting up through the gears. Does not seem to feel the same "catch" when downshifting. I havent driven the truck far enough to get everything good and hot in there--if that makes any difference. Will be taking a little road trip to cabin this weekend - don't want to screw anything up. (I overfilled by removing shifter off top-went back together very smooth.) Any thoughts?
